I had read a manual somewhere that stated that the handle with a value
of 0 represented the top of the window hierarchy, which is the desktop.
Others have said technically, this is not completely true. It sure
seems to work in practical terms. If I set the focus to 0, it places me
on the desktop. It also means that if you use 0 as the start for a
window handle in a find command, it will start at the desktop and search
all windows in all applications, including the System Tray.
