I use IDA Pro Advanced Edition v6. But I can not find the strings window. Only the function window, IDA View-A, IDA Hex View-A, Structures window, Enums window, Imports and Exports window are presented.

Can somebody tell how I can open the strings window?

If you can not find the Strings window, then press Shift + F12.
After a few seconds, the window will open.

In IDA, the individual windows are called "views." If you can't remember the keyboard shortcut (Shift+F12), then click View > Open subviews > Strings from the menu at the top of the window. You will be able to open the other views from there as well.

  • Huh, I was expecting you to mention that this menu is perfect for reminding yourself what the keyboard shortcuts are ;-) – SamB Sep 26 '16 at 00:04
  • Why would they put a `"String Window"` option into the `View` menu instead of the `Window` one? – c00000fd Mar 18 '17 at 00:39
