## Display Spy++ views
2123

2224
When Spy++ starts, it opens in [Windows view](windows-view.md), a tree view of all windows and controls available on your machine. This root window is captioned **Windows 1**. There are also three other Spy++ views available: [Messages view](messages-view.md), [Processes view](processes-view.md), and [Threads view](threads-view.md). You can display the desired view from the **Spy** menu.
