Starting Management Studio

Show all headers | View raw

At work we used to have XP and then we got new computers with Windows 7, 
a distinct improvement. I have SQL 2008 Management Studio on both. Under 
XP, when I would double click a SQL script, Windows would open 
Management Studio if it wasn't already running, but if it was already 
up, it would merely add a new tab with the new script, attached to the 
same server and database as the previously active tab. I liked that. On 
the new computer, Windows always opens a new instance of Management 
Studio, whether or not it is already running. I would like to change it 
back to the old behavior. I've been Googling around for how to do that, 
but haven't found anything. Anybody know?

Thanks in advance!
