uneedav8 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Is there a way to force a program to run multiple instances of itself? I have searched, but none of the tricks worked for me. Thanks for any help. Edited January 15, 2014 by uneedav8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 This is something thats usually built into the app itself - which app are you trying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 This is something thats usually built into the app itself - which app are you trying? Ditto. But if you have an app that refuses to run multiple instances, you may be able to trick it. Copy the program folder from it's current location to some other location Rename the copied program folder by adding a prefix or suffix to the folder name (so you know the original from the copy) Open up the copied folder and find the executable file Rename the executable file by adding a prefix or suffix Save the executable with the new file name Now if you want you can move the copied file back to Program Files, or wherever else you want it If you need to use the program frequently you can send shortcuts for each executable to your desktop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
