Choice of single/Multiple Instances of SWX

(OP)
I recently got a new computer and did a virgin install of SWX2013 and last week upgraded to SP4.0 When I d-click on a SWX file from a Windows Explorer window it opens SWX on that file as you would expect. However, if I d-click on another file I get a separate session of SWX that opens on that file. I do not know if this is a result of the new install of SWX or of the upgrade to SP4.0, but SWX did not behave this way before. Before if I would d-click on a second file it opened up in the session of SWX already running.

I would like to know how to control this behavior. Most of the time I only want the files to open in the already-running session of SWX, but there are times when it would be advantageous to run multiple sessions.

I searched this forum and the KB, but did not find this topic discussed. Does anyone know what settings to change to control this behavior?

Thanks,
