Starting program

I would place on form a timer with interval property:=1(msec).
I tried to do the following in straight way-without a label, but did not succeed.  :

procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
label1.Caption:=inttostr(FindWindow(nil,'My Computer'));
if not (label1.Caption='0') then
showmessage('You''ve opened My Computer');
timer1.enabled:=false//so it'll show the message only once
end;

I want to detrect all programs. I want to get a name of strted program!

Here is an easier way that takes only the visible windows that do have a name.....
---------------
function GetWinProc(Handle : HWND;  lParam : LPARAM):Boolean;stdcall;
var
  Name : array[0..100]of char;
begin
  if IsWindowVisible(Handle) then
  begin
    GetWindowText(Handle, Name, SizeOf(Name));
    if not(Name = '') then
      form1.listbox1.items.add(Name);
  end;
  Result := true;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  EnumWindows(@GetWinProc,0);
end;

Try this.....
//This checks if Notepad is running and if it is then it displays a message
if FindWindow(nil, 'Untitled - Notepad') <> 0 then
  ShowMessage('The application is already running');

You can use CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, Process32First and
Process32Next to enumerate through the running processes
but these functions are ONLY available in Win95 (?98) not
in NT.
BTW never use the window title to find a window with FindWindow
always use the window-class.

Ok, use this then....
var
  H : HWND;
begin
  H := FindWindow('Notepad' nil);
  if H <> 0 then
    ShowMessage('Notepad is already running...');
end;
