I always used to open a new VLC window; go to "open file"…etcetera when I wanted to watch something because when I click on a file in Windows Explorer and chose "open with" or just clicked on the file or right-clicked to choose "play with VLC" it always opened in an old already used VLC window. Is there any way to get VLC to use a new one without always resorting to: Open VLC, "open file", find file etcetera?
