| Why does LTSpice open a new instance (window) for every .asc file I click on? |

It used to be that every .asc file I opened (via Windows Explorer) opened in the same program instance of LTSpice. Now, annoyingly, a new application instance is created for each file I open in this way. Yes, I can still navigate from "within" LTSpice - but still, I'd like to be able to use Explorer on occasion. (Win7 32 bit). |

When did this change? I use LTSpice under WINE and all file open in the same instance, when I load files from the desktop. |

Weird. I don't get that (W10). BTW, did you recently get an LTSpice update? Mine updated the other day. Hold on... You're using Windows 7 ???????? :scared: I'm telling Mom... But seriously, I wonder if that might be the issue. |
| SiliconWizard:
Win 7/64 here, latest LTSpice, and it doesn't do that. It opens files in the same instance each in a new tab. Could be something specific to the 32-bit version. I guess most of us here on Win 7 or Win 10 run 64-bit versions. (There doesn't seem to be any option for opening files in new instances or not, so don't bother trying to find this in the control panel dialog...) |

It always used to work normally, but has been like this now for a long time, many months. As a guess, I think some system setting is to blame rather than LTSpice itself. |
