I clicked to option LaunchCommander to go to my Outlook email if it is already running.  However, when I click on this button from the commander it launches another instance of Outlook.

there may be another commandline option to tell outlook to bring up previous copy.

HOWEVER, having said that what i think i will do is add an option to LBC to smartly reactivate a running copy of a program if its already running -- i think it would be useful in general for some applications.
