Hi,

I'm currently using Windows Server 2003 and I'm finding that if I log on to my computer after one of the other people do (me on the "console" session, the other(s) remotely), then Launchy doesn't run when I try to run it. I ended up figuring out that Launchy currently only supports a single instance systemwide. I'm wondering if it would be too hard to implement a way to allow Launchy to run simultaneously if launched from a different session. I have the C++ code to do it (and I've been able to successfully use it in my own apps), but looking at your approach in DSingleApplication.cpp it seems yours is very different than mine.

I'd be more than happy to try and hack the source code and send a patch, but I'm wondering then if the whole tcp/port thing has another purpose other than check if an instance is running.

Looking forward for your feedback, and thanks for such an awesome launcher!
