BTW, when looking at CreateMutex docs, I found this:

Quote:

If you are using a named mutex to limit your application to a single instance, a malicious user can create this mutex before you do and prevent your application from starting. To prevent this situation, create a randomly named mutex and store the name so that it can only be obtained by an authorized user. Alternatively, you can use a file for this purpose. To limit your application to one instance per user, create a locked file in the user's profile directory.

It sounds reasonable and logical... and it never occurred to me before that I should do it Smile
