"applications" or "windows"? You can use the EnumWindows function, from  
the Windows API, to enumerate all  top level windows. See this article  
 from the Microsoft Knowledge Base <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/183009>  
(the example is in VB but I hope you get the idea)

Install the pywin32 extensions from Mark Hammond  
http://pywin32.sourceforge.net and you'll have the EnumWindows function  
available.
