Not sure what you mean by that Randy. Any file that is associated with an installed program within windows can be opened by that file by double clicking on the file in windows explorer. By pinning a shortcut directly to that file onto the windows 7 taskbar, it will open with a single click.
Legacy will not let you open a second Legacy file if one is already open, except within Legacy by using the Split Screen View or via the "File" menu if you just want to switch files.

Drop the shortcut onto the task bar to pin it there.

I appreciate knowing that I'm not the only one who saw this. I will wait for an update and until then will use my task bar icon.
