SWX 2010 on Windows 7 32x. I open SWX and launch a file. Then with SWX running, I double-click another SWX file and it starts another instances of SWX. How to do I stop SWX from opening multiple instances?
Thank you

I guess I should have been more specific. I cannot recreate this behavior on Win 7 x64 or on XP workstations. Right now it is only happened to one user and he is on Win 7 x32. He's already been advised to use File > Open, but old habits die hard. I was hoping there was a setting to control this, but could not find it in the Help files.
None that I know of… there are several "switches" I'd like to see added.
I have not seen that happen on anything here so I'm going to say that something is not right. But I have also not had SW loaded on Win 7 yet either so I don't ahve a good answer for you.

I'm on Windows 7, x64 and that happens to me all the time with a non-native format of SolidWorks. The last couple of days it's plagued me when opening parasolid formats. It's not a file association thing, since Windows knows to open the file in SolidWorks. But older versions (with XP) used to be smart enough to open within the already-opened application--not so with my present machine and installation.
I've read of that happening when multiple versions of SW are installed.
I've got v2009 and v2010 installed. But I like 2010 (features, stability) more than v2009 on this system--would be nice to move to only one. I believe I've got some gremlins in the system now with v2009--a few odd things once in a while.
I have SW2006 and SW2010 loaded and sometimes when I have SW2006 opened and I double click a file in my work directory it'll open SW2010.

Whoa--that's dangerous. If you didn't notice the future version open, you could lose your files from v2006 forever!
LOL (damn, I thought I'd never use that) I did think about doing that and pleading igorance. Rats, we have to upgrade to SW2010 now

Open the files through the program and not through windows explorer (if that is what you are doing).
