What version of Windows are you running?

You can try the TASKLIST command.  Something like:

Code: [Select]

tasklist /fi "imagename eq MYRPOG.exe"or

Code: [Select]

@echo off
tasklist /fi "imagename eq MYPROG.exe"|findstr PID
if not errorlevel 1 goto :Nothing
echo Make something happen
goto :EOF

:Nothing

What is "this program"?

For this to work, you need to replace the MYPROG.exe in my code with the real file name of "this program".
