What the word firstone means? Really (not a joke), it's not in my
dictionary...

Yes. I use this, but not sure if that's the best way:

bool StartNewInstance( AnsiString NAME, AnsiString MUTEX )
{
   ::CreateMutex( NULL, NULL, MUTEX.c_str() );

   if ( GetLastError() )
   {
      Application->Title = "Something different";
      HWND FirstWnd;
      FirstWnd = ::FindWindow( "TApplication", NAME.c_str() );
      if ( ::IsIconic( FirstWnd ) ) ::ShowWindow( FirstWnd, 
SW_SHOWDEFAULT );
      ::SetForegroundWindow( FirstWnd );
      return ( false );
   }

   return ( true );
}

WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
        try
        {
                 if ( ! StartNewInstance( "program", "notprogram" ) )
                    return 0;
// etc...
