Unwanted reuse of existing VC++ 6.0 instance
-
Hello I find that when I double-click a .dsw file (VC++ 6.0 workspace) it will launch VC++ 6.0 and open it as expected. However if I double-click a second .dsw file while the first is still open, it reuses the first VC++ instance (effectively closing the first one) instead of spawning a second VC++ process thereby having two (which is what I want). In the end I have to remember to first start VC++ 6.0 and then open the workspace to prevent the closing of my first workspace. I notice that this behavior does not occur with Visual Studio.NET (2003 anyways). I did check all options and settings in VC++ 6.0 as well as the online product documentation here (to no avail): http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa468126.aspx[^] Might anyone know how I can change things such that a new instance of VC++ 6.0 is started when a .dsw file is dbl-clicked when there is already a workspace open? Thanks ! Sincerely, Christopher Brack
