Is there a way to run multiple instances of a program?

That's going to be very program dependent. Most (or at least many) Windows programs allow this by default. Starting 2 calculator programs isn't a problem. Others that attempt to access the same resources at the same time may have problems. For these the programmer(s) often take steps to prevent multiple instances running at the same time. Perhaps if you mention what program you want to run multiple instances of, we could better answer your question.

Winamp.
 
Some will - some won't. A good example of one that will is Internet Explorer.

I don't think there's an easy way. A program can easily check to see if an instance of itself is already running.
