programme is run in separate memory space at run time via start menu,
run, and then ticking the check box. I've had a little browse through
my applications, and it seems the default is not to run in separate
memory space, so I don't think this is anything the user can fix.
Looking at the icon and programme properties doesn't seem to give this
information.
