 but what if windows crashes - MC has not closed - has not deleted the file -
 and wouldnt open again

Thats a common problem with this type of application: the warning dialog
usually has instructions for deleting the file in that event.

 is there no function in MC to get the running apps??

Not that I know of.

 how to prevent that the same stack is opened several times on a Windows

 As I remember that was not possible on a Mac but it is on Windows...
 
 ...how can I get the "running programs" - there was something in HC

One way you could do it (any platform) is to create a "lock file" that
prevents multiple copies being run.  The idea is simple: on loading, create
a text file in a specific place (e.g. the same directory as the stack).  On
closing, delete the file.  On startUp, if the file exists, put up an error
message that the program is already running, and exit.
