When you start those other applications (say, using ShellExecuteEx), you can
obtain the process handle. By testing for the signalled state of the
process handle, you can tell if the other app has closed down. A process is
complete when its state is signalled. Use either WaitForMultipleObjects /
WaitForSingleObject WinAPI call.

Dennis.
