Rick,
I think terminate process is by design to kill all objects. Look at the
windows feature page that Chip has if you have not already downloaded that link.

Subject: Re: NotePad2011 seems to be good now
Hi Jeff: I will make a note of that for my planned update.
I am also thinking of popping up a message box and asking if the user really
wants the new duplicate instance opened.
One question I will need to research and haven't seen anything on in my
readings is how to terminate a process or just close the opened instance of
NotePad if the user does not want the new instance opened.
I think terminating the process would work but I am not sure about all the
storage and objects used by NotePad - would they all get cleared?
Is there another way to close NotePad gracefully?
What about clicking the exit menu item with one of the WindowEyes Object
methods?
Have you closed a app using either a WE method or native VBScript in one of
these manners or in some other manner?

Your app is now working. That's great!!
Now, I have one problem that can come up if you have several notepad files
opened at once.
Since your file is associated with notepad, each time notepad is started,
an instance of your notepad 2011 app is loaded as well. When you then open a
duplicate of any of the files that are opened, each instance of your app will
fire. That means that you may hear the warning several times.
To solve this problem, I recommend that in your next update, you associate
the app globally. This means that the app will only run once. It will wait
patiently in the background for notepad to be launched. If the app is
associated globally, you would only get one warning message when the app
detects multiple
copies of the same file opened at a time.
Hope this helps,
jeff weiss

Subject: NotePad2011 seems to be good now
Hi: I updated everything and uploaded it. I then renamed all my files:
NotePad2011.vbs xml and wepm. Then unloaded the original script in appManager,
removed the files using AddRemove and renamed NotePad2011.wepm to get ready for
a clean install.
I used Jamal's install script to install the package.
It installed and is working as expected.
Not ReAdding the vbs and xml files were causing the problem - the old
versions were being ReUploaded.
So,it looks like it is working. If you try it out could you let me know
if you get the warning if you try and open more than one copy of a NotePad
document at the same time?
Thanks:
