Multiple (differing) Window Sources From 2 portable EXE making Same Window Title, How Can I Do it? Rename Windows?

Ok basically as the title states, I have multiple Windows with the same name running, and want each to appear simultaneously.

Of course, OBS wants specific Window titles to capture them.

I am lookin around the internet for ways to rename the window generated by the portable EXE files I run out of different folders to get these windows. But maybe there is an easier solution by getting OBS to identify them differently?

Or does anyone know how to rename the Window opened by running a portable exe file? By using some program such as Resource Hacker (I didn't have any luck using Resource Hacker to change the window title). I am going to be trying some other ones later something called rcedit. Still open to more suggestions.

Rename window titles to be able to identify them can be accomplished by Autohotkey https://autohotkey.com/ . It's a scripting language for automation. Some years ago I needed this, and I wrote a script that monitored all window titles in the system while running in background, and if the matching title appeared, the script renamed it from "name" to "name #number", and it increased the number every time a new window was detected. This is possible, however you need to create or find some actual script yourself. I guess ChatGPT could help with coding, that is quite good in small Autohotkey scripts.

Well that sounds challenging. Thanks.

good afternoon koala, what you say is just what I'm looking for, could you pass your script to be able to use it please ? I'm a beginner in this programming thing :v
