Actually, the string can be any substring of the window title, and does
NOT need to be unique, unless you set the flag in the SetHomeGroup
command to cause it to affect all windows with that title. If there is
any character which appears in all of your Mathematica window titles,
even a space, a hyphen, an underscore, or a ., you can use a macro which
invokes the SetHomeGroup command space part to change the active
recognition group. Of course, in that case, you may have to put up with
the inconvenience of issuing the SetHomeGroup command manually once per
new window.

This of course is the way to talk to dragons, if you don't want to
reveal your proper name (which is wise), and don't want to infuriate
them by a flat refusal (which is also very wise). No dragon can resist
the fascination of riddling talk and of wasting time trying to
understand it.
