The way I read Rick's post is that he starts SM (browser and/or Mail as appropriate), and then, because he's double-double clicked on the desk-top icon, he gets a totally seperate second copy of SM (browser and/or Mail as appropriate). You don't have to do it that way. Double-click on a Mail/News folder or account name and a second Mail/News window will open. And of course there are lots of ways of opening a new browser window. Neither of these means that more than one instance of SeaMonkey is running. If I double-click on the SM desktop icon, or if I type the keyboard shortcut I use to launch SM, or if I navigate through the Start menu to the SeaMonkey program, any of these while SM is running, all I get is a transfer of focus to the running instance of SM. A second one does not launch as for example with MS Word. If I click a link more than once, I get multiple copies of that browser window, but still only one instance of the SM program. So I'd say it's perfectly safe to close the extra window if you don't need it. Don't worry about competing instances of the program writing to the same mail/news folders. But I think Rick wants to stop the double starting from happening in the first place! True:-) but it really is my problem - I only asked because many other applications do prevent multiple copies. Yes, I sometimes do use multiple browser windows and sometimes multiple tabs. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

As I indicated earlier in this thread, having multiple SeaMonkey windows is NOT a problem. For some users, this is exactly what they want.
