On Windows, if you want to switch to an already opened app, you have to use a unique part of the windows title text, you want to switch too.

in your case "D://Putty.exe" is not part of any open window's title text, so Putty is opened again.

If e.g. "Putty" is in the window title:
switchApp("Putty")

might do it, if only one Putty window is open at that time. Otherwise you have to take more text from the window title, to make it more distinguishable.
