Option to start pgm only if needed

Added the ability for user to only start a
program if it hasn't been started yet. This
is for things like SimHub that should
already be started by Windows when the
PC first boots.

Also corrects a bug that ignored the autoname
property so that it overwrote the suggested
filename when saving a shortcut.
