I have and like this product. Have been using it (or something like it) ever since Norton File Manager circa Windows 3.0.
Most used functions: being able to see contents of ZIP files as if they were sub-directories, using the viewer to see the contents of files without opening them in another application (even the contents of a ZIP file!). New (most used function) to this version: dual vertical panes! -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Saputelli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 8:58 PM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] stopping second instance of 99SE oh well, thanks anyway Harry but unless i missed something in my exhaustive :} 3 minute trial of CONTROL LAUNCHER here is what i see: the launcher they provide will not start a second copy of the launched program if the default setting of 'one copy only' is set and you use their program launch button but if you dbl click on a DDB in 'explorer' a second copy is started up as usual i would think that it would be possible for a program to intercept the file association program 'launching' process and prevent that but as for now the search goes on (maybe i am the only one who wants this) BTW and on a vaguely related topic has anyone tried ExplorerPlus ? http://www.novatix.com/ as i am always in search of a file manager to replace the hated (at least by me) Windows Explorer i have found this prog and am so far impressed enough that i actually shelled out the big bucks ($40) after the free trial run Dennis Saputelli Harry Lemmens wrote: > > Supposedly, this app will allow you to control this aspect of windows. > I have not tried it myself. http://www.softaward.com/732.html > > Actually, it should have been written into the application itself > (That is, to detect, and dis-allow a second instance of itself to be > launched!)
