Opening Pb-Version by clicking in windows-explorer

When I click on a Pb-File in the Windos-Explorer, this file opens with the last closed Windows version.

This is basically ok, but if there is another PureBasic version open, then the clicked file should be opened there and Pb should not be opened a second time.

This behavior can lead to stupid errors if you don't pay attention that Pb is suddenly opened twice with the same files.

You know that there is a flag in the PB settings to open only one instance of PB?

Yes I know, but this has no influence on opening Pb with another version.

For example, I work with version 5.60. Now I have to open an old program with 5.45 (because of Unicode) to test it. I test this program briefly, close version 5.45 and from then all Pb-files I click in Windows Explorer are opened with 5.45, although 5.60 is still open.
