VS launches in new window / instance

I have been having trouble with a new installation of Visual Studio 2003.

Whenever I click on multiple ASP files from Explorer, it launches another instance in a new window, rather than just opening it in the existing window.

I noticed that if I use the right mouse and select "Edit" rather than "Open" it works correctly, but it's much easier to just double click.

Any idea how to change it to edit in the same instance by default? I have a hunch it could be some kind of DDE command that is not triggered. I can see it calls open(%1) in the folder options, but I don't know what I could change it to to make it behave the way I want it to.

I think the trouble was that I installed Dreamweaver MX... it made itself the default editor.. when I changed it manually to Visual Studio, the trouble started.
