As I understand it, they're almost the same thing - mutexes work with
multiple threads in an single application, critical section objects
work with multiple threads in a single process. It doesn't help things
any that "critical section" is also used to refer to the code governed
by a mutex.
Here's a fairly concise, albeit microsoftian, writeup:

Ah, thanks for the info. When I searched for how most window
developers handle having only one instance mutex objects seemed to be
the most popular. I guess this makes sense seeing that mutex applies
to apps and critical sections to a single process. In any case, it
was much easier to implement then I thought it would be.
