ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of accessing at least a first of a plurality of object owned windows simultaneously open in a graphic user interface on a computer system. For each object on a computer system, an object list is maintained. The object list includes all opened windows owned by the objects. User inputs to the computer system are monitored for a user request for a window list. Responsive to a user request for the window list, each object list is retrieved and, for objects lists having a single opened window, a window entry to the window list is listed. For object lists having a plurality of opened windows, an object entry and a plurality of window entries are added to the window list. The window list is then displayed. Window names include an owning object identifier and a description of the window. Adding a object entry and a plurality of window entries to a window list includes making the name of the object an entry and includes generating a plurality of entries for windows including descriptions of the windows. The window descriptions are placed proximate to but separate from the object name upon display of the window list.
