What is the difference between selecting the target from the Windows list and the Applications list?

when you select from the windows list, I suppose that CE calls FindWindow, then GetWindowThreadProcessId and it opens that process (just a guess), but what about the applications list?

I've tried the following : I ran a flash game on chrome (chrome creates many child processes), I first tried selecting chrome from the applications list, I couldn't find the game data in memory (did an aobscan and it failed), then I tried selecting chrome from the windows list, same result, when I tried with one of the many chrome.exe processes (trying them one by one), the aobscan worked fine, does that mean that if the game creates child processes then we shouldn't select it from the Applications/Windows list?
