Supposedly, this app will allow you to control this aspect of windows. I have not tried it myself. http://www.softaward.com/732.html
Actually, it should have been written into the application itself (That is, to detect, and dis-allow a second instance of itself to be launched!) Done correctly, it would have opened the DDB in the already active session.
