often I'm starting several Matlabs at once to work on different parts of a single problem. Every Matlab opens a set of figures to display current status and a GUI to control the program (e.g. 'pause' and 'stop' buttons).
But since I don't have a dozen monitors *g* I become confused which "Control GUI" controls which Matlab. So I thought that I could set the name of all the figures so that there's a unique references number for each Matlab. But the Matlab main window can't be changed that way (set(handle,'Name','someTexthere')) - or is there a way to do?
Since there seems to be no solution I wonder if I can read the Windows (XP) process ID somehow to identify a Matlab. Probably a small C programm could do that (but of course I need the ID of the calling Matlab process not that of the c programm), but I don't know how. Can anyone help me?

Great, it works! Thank you very much, Jan! In the meantime I have read that the Windows idea of a parent ID is dubiuos at least so I dropped my hope until now.
