Solved Run program multiple times via batch file or powershell

Is it possible to open a program twice with different names? The reason I ask is I have a screen widget (digital clock) that I want displayed in a couple locations on my desktop depending on what’s running. I only want it displayed a second time when one program is running (Spotify).

So, first off, the clock would be displayed upon boot in one specific location and permanently remain in that location. I was hoping to write a small batch file or something that reloads the clock program in a different location before it opens Spotify. Then, upon closing Spotify, the second instance of clock would be closed leaving the original instance still in place.

I have been able to do this manually – that is, open D_Clock.exe twice and manually close the second instance. However, I’d like to do this via some routine. I understand batch files and simple PowerShell routines. I also have a Bat2Exe program that creates an executable from a batch file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In short, write it in PowerShell.

For positioning apps, I would read:
Powershell: Setting window size and position for multiple applications of the same process name

You ought to have said that you had asked this question in two different forums. Your question had already been answered before I spent time & effort on you.

I'm in agreement, don't cross-post the same question unless you've been asked to redirect your question to a better site.

I have solved this problem. Thank you very much for your support and assistance.
