That was my guess - I setup a loop that calls ShellExecute repeatedly and used the loop index as the first parameter hoping to have multiple instances on the screen. Nothing seemed to change. Do I need to open a window for each instance and pass that handle to ShellExecute?
Related question - Is there a way to control the size and location of the window the app comes up in? Can one force it to stay minimized?
