Dear Forum
I have created a desktop (exe) application
My question is how can I force a "single instance" to run in Windows at any one time.
Currently it is possible to run multiple instances of the same application.
Everytime the user clicks the exe a new window opens with an additional instance of the application.
I assume this kind of functionality is outside the scope of the Opus development environment.

Yes, it's outside the scope of Opus itself - you'd need a third-party extension.

Basically, the process list you see when you run task manager in Windows would need to be accessed and then you would count the number of processes with a given name. If this count is greater than one, the last version of your application to run the check would simply exit.
