[Solved] Open project in CbB from Explorer

I am used to navigating to different projects or versions in SPlat using Windows Explorer. I could always open another project in SPlat by double clicking the .cwp in Explorer. This would open the project in existing iteration of SPlat. (I would then have 2 projects open concurrently which is what I want.) NOW in CbB if I have an instance of program open with a project, if I double click new file in Explorer it tries to open a second instance of CbB. This is not good as the new instance tries to use audio drivers already in use. The only way to get 2 projects open at same time in CbB is by using File/Open. I do not like this behavior! Meng, can you fix?

    There is a setting in prefs to allow opening multiple projects. Not sure of the exact wording, but look in prefs and it should be there.

    Splat, Win 10 64bit and all sorts of musical odds and sods collected over the years, but still missing a lot of my old analogue stuff I sold off years ago.

    In prefs: File - Advanced - Allow only one open project at a time is UNchecked. No joy.

    I just tried opening two projects from the OS. The both loaded into the same instance of CbB.

    I double-clicked on one cwp file in Windows Explorer.
    That started CbB, loaded the project and ran an automatic background scan.
    Then I navigated to another project folder in Windows Explorer, double-clicked the cwp file in that folder.
    The second project opened in the same instance of CbB.

    Wow... not so for me. If I follow same process it wants to open a new CbB. What could be wrong?

    I just tried this and I opened 4 different CWP files which are all in the one instance of CbB 
    It will be a windows issue, not Cakewalks.
