Whether MI opens a new window, or start a new session, depends on the
Windows setting on an individual machine. In explorer, check the "File
Types" setting for MapInfo Tables & Workspaces. If "Use DDE" is checked, MI
will open new windows within the current session (or start a new session if
MI is not already running), if "Use DDE" is not checked, a new session will
always be started.
To get to the "Use DDE" setting in 95 or NT, open windows explorer (not
Internet explorer) and click "View", "Options", then select the "File Type"
tab. Scroll down through the "Registered File Types" until you find MapInfo
Workspace. Then click "Edit", select "Open" from the action list and click
"Edit".
In Win2k it is under "Tools", "Folder Options", "File Types" and then use
the "Advanced" button to access the actions list.
