In most cases, when you see this behavior it's caused by the OS, not the application itself ... In my experience, the only check done by the OS to determine wether or not the application you are trying to execute is already running, is wether or not it's executable's filename matches one of the currently running processes ...

Although some more complicated (and more safely written) applications will be more "clone-aware" ... The majority of smaller WM apps will not, and can be "cloned" through the renaming method I posted above.

I have used this method many times in the past and it is effective... Unfortunately it does not work with TCPMP (I just tested it)...

Considering that, I agree with the earlier post suggesting that you use multiple applications...
