Hi Stephen,

Assuming that you mean that you want to detect if another application is running on the computer, you can use my Is_Run function from the UT download section (under Win32 and other APIs) to retrieve the window handle based on the known portion of the title bar text. Then you can use the SendMessage function (as Ed mentioned) to close it. I wrote an FAQ on this subject that gives all the details.
