True, but really, we're talking about LUSERS here. ;-) Seriously. how many end-users are going to be smart enough to know how to bypass that script?

Only problem with that is permissions. If "I" am launching the app, I am creating the lock file, which isn't secure. If someone is clever, or even in an accidental situation this can be bypassed. From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 9:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Limit the amount of times an application can be opened? Use a batchfile to create a ".lock" file and check for the existence of that file and if it exists, have the batch file exit.

We have one application that is absolute resource hog. Unfortunately the users will open it over and over again, usually bringing the system to a crawl. It has been very difficult to train them to only open it once. Anyone have any ideas on how we could limit the amount of times it is opened?
