The first one is correct for AmE. The second one is used in BrE.

The third one can mean the same as the first two, but it is mostly used metaphorically.
Look through the window of the past.
Look through the window of my soul.

Precicely, although I do sometimes look through real windows in both directions in(to) and out of)

Ah, Rusty - but you ARE a teacher. Maybe not by vocation, but definitely by avocation! :)
