Is there a way to determine whether the After Effects application was started by clicking on the Program icon or by double clicking an .aep file. Basically I'd like a script in my startup folder to run if the application was started by clicking on the application icon and to not run if an already existing project was double clicked to open After Effects.

Thanks for any advice.

Rob
