Allow only 1 copy ... not working properly

Post by *WzBn »

Hi!
I'm using Total Commander for several years, I've a suggestion/report a bug.
I'm allways like to have only 1 copy of TC running, (using the checkbox for that, in Operation, preferences).
This works ok in most of th cases, but I've detected that if you run the TC as Administrator, you can have another instance of TC running without permissions.
At work we have some apps right restrictions, so TC has not administrator rights by default, by I've admin rights in power shell, take advantage of this, I can execute start-process TOTALCMD.EXE, from powershell (in administrator mode) for that reason the TC is open with administrator right, with (^) in the title.
Having this TC running, If I execute manually the TOTALCMD.EXE, another instance of TC is openned, with (2) in the Title.

It is a bug? or It is posible to have another option that force to have only one instance ?

Thanks in Advance
