    How are you starting it? Some programs prevent multiple instances from opening and there's not much you can do about that. Maybe right-click on the shortcut and click the name of the app again? That's what I have to do with the MS Office and Windows Explorer apps.

    are you sure that would work ? most 'single instance' program try to search the process via the OS rather than using HDD area to indicate it is already running.
