How To Open Another Instance of an Application in Windows 7

Posted on January 30, 2009 by admin



Sometimes we need to open another instance of an application (as long as it supports multiple instances) that you are using. Instead of going to the Start menu, Windows 7 provides two simple methods to make it happen.

Method 1:

  • Find the application in the Taskbar.
  • Hold down the Shift key while left-clicking on the Taskbar icon.

A new instance of the application will open.

Method 2:

  • Find the application in the Taskbar.
  • Use the middle mouse button (or wheel) to click on the Taskbar icon.

A new instance of the application will open.
