// The 'windowHandle' parameter will contain the window handle for the:
// - Active window when run by hotkey
// - Window Location target when run by a Window Location rule
// - TitleBar Button owner when run by a TitleBar Button
// - Jump List owner when run from a Taskbar Jump List
// - Currently focused window if none of these match

//This function is to be used with a Window Location Rule or a Hotkey
//It will get Rocksmith 2014 to look for your own USB guitar cable if you don't own the Real Tone cable

	4) To to the details tab of the new window
