Hey guys!! It's been a while, I know! 
Just dropping a few suggestions today. I don't know if the recent beta versions has them but I'm using AWM 5.0 and I don't see it, so there it is:
- How about an option called "Force single instance" that forces the selected window to be single instanced.
For example: Starting calc.exe will open the calculator! But if an instance is already running, starting another calc.exe will focus the running instance instead of creating a new one.
- How about some scripting? Programs like EventGhost allows to run Pyhton scripts; It's really convenient when it comes to conditionnal situations.
That's it. I'd appreciate a feedback on these! 
See ya

Hi Tatiana,
Oh, I think I should upgrade my AWM version! )
Well, concerning my 1st suggestion; well... As you propably know; as most applications misses the MinimizeToTray & StayOnTop icons in the taskbar, most of them accept multiple instances.
Here's an example: Using EventGhost (or similar SystemWide Hotkeys softwares), I just have to press WinKey+Z to start winamp. Since my finger are almost alway over those keys, it makes it really fast to control winamp( Play, Stop, etc... ) If winamp would not allow to limit it instance to one, each time I would press those keys, a new instance would open, making the quick control impossible.
So, it's okay for winamp, but there's a variety of Multimedia/Music/Video player that dosen't have this "single instance" option.
I believe your tools are most likely to be used by Professionnals/PowerUser like me; so this is something that might be interresting for many.
By the way, have you thought about integrating the auto update to your softwares? (like Paint.NET does when a new version gets available)
See ya
Zack
