Sadly, I've found window class IDs to not be very unique (though I've
looked mostly in Wine and not Windows).
A long time ago (Win2K era) I wrote an application for Windows that replaced the text everywhere (that wouldn't crash the OS) with "All Your Base Are Belong To Us." At least at the time, you could rely on the window class to differentiate between different types of windows (dialogs vs. menus vs. different types of controls). Taking advantage of this behavior was especially important in IE, which would crash the whole OS if you changed the text of any of its menus.
