Usually the issue of lounching an aplication only once is handled by the call to CreateMutex function in the initialization code of your main window. After this call, if the GetLastError API function returns ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS this means that there is a previous instance of your application.

...additionally , if it is window application - use FindWindow API function and when user click twice the same executate - activate the existing application using the returned window handler ( it is one of the principles of usability)
