This is a very big and complete project.
I wonder how you don't get lost your own source code.
What IDE are you using?

You don't use main window, that's the problem.
You wouldn't need to hide dialog's window after it opens(call DialogBoxParam only when you have to show it and then just close it instead of hiding) and you would easily find out if you program is already running and then activate it.
Piece of an example:

Code:

  start:
        xor     ebx, ebx

        invoke  FindWindow, _class, ebx
        test    eax, eax
        jnz     .activate_window

        invoke  GetModuleHandle, ebx
        mov     [wc.hInstance], eax
        invoke  LoadIcon, eax, 21
        mov     [wc.hIcon], eax
        mov     [wc.lpfnWndProc], WindowProc
        mov     [wc.lpszClassName], _class
        invoke  RegisterClass, wc
        test    eax, eax
        jz      .error

        invoke  CreateWindowEx, ebx, _class, ebx, ebx, ebx, ebx, ebx, ebx, ebx, ebx, [wc.hInstance], ebx
        test    eax, eax
        jz      .error
        mov     [hWnd], eax

  .msg_loop:
        invoke  GetMessage, msg, ebx, ebx, ebx
        cmp     eax, 1
        jb      exit
        jne     .msg_loop
        invoke  TranslateMessage, msg
        invoke  DispatchMessage, msg
        jmp     .msg_loop

  .activate_window:
        invoke  SendMessage, eax, WM_SHELLNOTIFY, IDI_TRAY, WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK
        jmp     exit

  .error:
        invoke  MessageBox, NULL, _error, NULL, MB_ICONERROR + MB_OK

  exit:
        invoke  ExitProcess, [msg.wParam]

proc WindowProc uses ebx esi edi, hwnd, wmsg, wparam, lparam
        cmp     [wmsg], WM_DESTROY
        je      .wmdestroy
        cmp     [wmsg], WM_SHELLNOTIFY
        je      .wmshellnotify
  .defwndproc:
        invoke  DefWindowProc, [hwnd], [wmsg], [wparam], [lparam]
        jmp     .finish
  .wmshellnotify:
        ;...
        jmp     .finish_ok
  .wmdestroy:
        invoke  PostQuitMessage, 0
  .finish_ok:
        xor     eax, eax
  .finish:
        ret
endp

It needs try button for "sound choosing", double(and maybe right) click in list box and using system defined fonts and colors.
And there is something strange with selection(one click) and deselection(double click).

hidden, I was trying to add rightclick to open CreatePopupMenu on listbox, but I could not get it to work, thats why it uses add/edit button and double click to unselect. There was some other problem too, but I don't remember what it was. Creating hidden main window, that may be good idea, I have to try that, but it's big and painful job change almost everything in main dialog (current ListBox is filled when loading ini file). Testing sound is good idea too.

OzzY, It has been totally written with fasmw, only first "one alarm" version in 1995 was written with Visual Basic 3.0, really, but it was so terrible that I have to write everything from start. I don't have "full picture" anymore it's just too big for me. I just add one routine at time (look version history), then it just grows.
BTW, is your C source availabe after your project is finished. It would be nice to see different view from same kind of program.

pierre, I have not try to kill explorer before, but my program was not only one that disappear, there was some system stuff also missing.

Wow so many new ideas, I need lots of time to test them all.

I have been testing hidden main window, but it gives new strange errors that I have to solve first.

So I update old dialog version (in first post) to test sound effect and handler for explorer kill.
