File Associations?

[Mark Schonewille]

Scott,

That's right. You double-click a file in Windows and Windows starts  
another instance of the executable for that file. In that executable,  
you catch the relaunch message. If file $1 exists, don't return any  
value from the relaunch handler. The new instance will be terminated  
and the message is passed on to the already running instance.

Note that the message is sent to the already running instance. The  
already running instance decides whether the new instance of the  
executable is to be terminated or not.

Mark Schonewille
