Please use the search engine of this board and search for the keywords "single instance"
I talk about my old prog that I want modify
who have some interest please downlad it here
http://www.hot.ee/kuldbyte/clipline.zip
any lang support
drag and drop support
autosave every 6 min in to file "autosave.cln"
load autosave at start

You can associate clipline.exe files with *.cln file format for faster open it
Enjoy LOL :)

this proc return 0 if this is the first run
else ( != 0 ) it is not the first run.
tested on win98 & win2k
for more detail read about mutex.
AmITheFirst proc
lea edx,offset MutexName
invoke CreateMutex, NULL,FALSE,edx
invoke WaitForSingleObject ,eax,0
ret
;===== Data ========
MutexName:
db 'Pure', 0
;===== Data End ====
AmITheFirst endp
this proc return 0 if this is the first run
else ( != 0 ) it is not the first run.
tested on win98 & win2k
for more detail read about mutex.

add this to your Link when you compile.
/section:share,rws
in your .asm
add this to your Link when you compile.
/section:share,rws
in your .asm
share segment
AppInit dd 0
share ends
startupcodex proc
cmp AppInit,1; if its 1 then a program has already loaded
je @F; jmp is its equ
mov AppInit,1;else its 0 and we mov 1 into it
jmp endFFFF;return to code
@@:
invoke ExitProcess,0;end
endFFFF:
ret
startupcodex endp
