Is there a way to duplicate a child window?

I have an application that allows only one instance of a child window. If I try to open another instance of that window it gives the previously opened window focus. Is there a way to force opening a 2nd child window or a way to duplicate a previously opened window?

Or maybe there is a way to change a windows unique Id so that the parent window does not know that a child window still exists?

Thanks,
Matt

try this:
enter the full path on the command line and add "-n" (without quotes). some apps use this parameter, but if not try "-?" (without quotes) and post the output.
