If the Reader is not already running, when I double-click a ".pdf" file name in Windows Explorer, an instance of the Reader starts to view the file, as expected.

If I double-click another file name, the Reader views the other file, in the same Reader instance, i.e. it does not start another Reader, with a new window.

Is there a way to get more than one instance of the Reader running?

Using Version 7, Windows XP Home SP3

Regards, Bob
