Controlling you running programs now is  easier with CRP (Control Running Programs). Control Running Programs is a free Windows utility that controls your running programs. Two components are possessed by CRP.The first controls how many instances of a program are running. As an example, if you never want more than two instances of Internet Explorer to run, CRP will automatically close a new window every time it’s launched. Otherwise, you can sort of use CRP as a pop-up blocker. Surely, there are plenty of other applications that do a better job of blocking pop-ups, but we imagine there are a few non-browser applications for CRP as well.
The second component is an instance launcher. When this feature is enabled, CRP will launch any applications you specify. So if there’s a raft of programs that you like to run regularly, but don’t want to startup when Windows first boots, you can just add them to your CRP list. Then when you’re ready for them, just launch CRP and click the start button to launch your programs. For some reason you can only add programs to the instance controlling list if they’re currently running, while you can add any program on your PC to the instance launcher.
