From: > http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Windows_file_associations This example is exactly the format I was looking for: assoc .c=sourcecode assoc .h=sourcecode assoc .pl=sourcecode assoc .py=sourcecode ftype sourcecode="C:\Program Files\Vim\vim72\gvim.exe" --remote-silent "%1" Now double clicking files opens only one instance of vim and only one tab.
