How can I force a process to never start more than once (only one instance) ?
Armando:
Hi everybody,
I have a few programs (like Outlook) which sometimes have multiple instances showing up in the task manager... against my will.
Are there any utility which could prevent that from happening ?
Thanks.
majoMO:
I tried Activate with Outlook and it worked well.
Armando:
Hey ! That was quick. It seems to work. Thanks a lot. :Thmbsup:
tomos:
Havent tried this Armando but it also sounds like what you looking for
Skrommel's SingleInstance
Allow only one instance of a program to run.
Features:
- User defined programs.
- Option to detect hidden programs.
- Won't close instances started before SingleInstance.

- this makes me ask if Explorer is meant to run twice - the first one at startup, for the taskbar etcetera, and (later) the second one, for my folders (when I open them)??
