Force CMD to allow only one instance

Hi,

We are dealing with a very bad piece of programming here and I would like to have a quick fix (if it exists) instead of reprogramming it all (no more funds, and no time anyways).

Here's the scoop: We have scripts that are invoked and the script interpretor from the command line (we have a shortcut on the desktop). Is there a way to force is so that once a user clicks on the Icon launching it, it can only have on instance running and a second double-click wouldn't start another cmd session with the interpretor?

We are running NT4 Sp6a

Thanks!
