Maybe it is not a word (English is not my native language either,
so please correct me).

I meant 'the first'.

Example:
Q: About which instance are you speaking ?
Possible answers:
A: The one which started first.
A: The first one.
A: The firstone.
A: The first.

You did not set back the original Title. That is needed
in case it is the first instance.

What I meant was that you can omit the mutex: (untested)

bool StartNewInstance( AnsiString NAME, AnsiString MUTEX )
{
       AnsiString OldTitle =  Application->Title;

       Application->Title = "Something different";
       HWND FirstWnd;
       FirstWnd = ::FindWindow( "TApplication", NAME.c_str() );
       // TApplication ???

       if ( FirstWnd )
	{
       	if ( ::IsIconic( FirstWnd ) ) ::ShowWindow( FirstWnd,
		SW_SHOWDEFAULT );
       	::SetForegroundWindow( FirstWnd );
       	
	Application->Title = OldTitle;

         return ( false );
         }

      Application->Title = OldTitle;

    return ( true );
}

But my code comes in handy when the Title is not know.
And it does not require changing of stringcontents for
different projects.
