I am not sure I understand what you are asking but I assume I do. I think you are asking how to limit your application to a single instance. You can search the internet for articles about doing that. When you do you will find that the following is a solution that many experienced Windows programmers use. Your project has a Program.cs file that has a Main method. Open (look at) that file. In it there is a line like: Application.Run(new Form1()); Add the following lines in the Main method before that line: bool WasCreated; InstanceMutex = new Mutex ( true  SomeUniqueName out WasCreated); if (!WasCreated) { // show a message here return ; } Then after the Application.Run(new Form1()) add the following: GC.KeepAlive(InstanceMutex); Also be sure to add a  using System.Threading;  at the beginning of the Program.cs file.

Hi you can use something like that Process[] notepads = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(notepad); int notepadCount = notepads.Length; Use your exe name if you get count greater than 0 means the process is running Thanks
