Run single instance of an application using Mutex

Question

In order to allow only a single instance of an application running I'm using mutex. The code is given below. Is this the right way to do it? Are there any flaws in the code?

How to show the already running application when user tries to open the application the second time. At present (in the code below), I'm just displaying a message that another instance is already running.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Mutex _mut = null;

        try
        {
            _mut = Mutex.OpenExisting(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName);
        }
        catch
        {
             //handler to be written
        }

        if (_mut == null)
        {
            _mut = new Mutex(false, AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName);
        }
        else
        {
            _mut.Close();
            MessageBox.Show("Instance already running");

        }            
    }
