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.
