"Another Instance" Message
Hi,
A program that I use a lot displays the message "Another instance is already running" whenever you try to have multiple instances. Does anyone know if something like that just checks for the process name, or if it uses another method to tell if it's running? I'm asking because I'd really like to figure out a way to run multiples of it. :p
Thanks

Thats sort of like asking if you know what type of oil filter my car uses without telling you what type of car it is. Could the program use the process name to figure out if its running. Yes, but without knowing what program it is there is pretty much no definative answer that you can receive. I think even with the name of the program you probably won't get the answer you're looking for, but atleast theres a better chance of it.
