I installed eclipse as Administrator, and set the properties of the
"C:\Program Files\eclipse\workspace" folder to 'Full Control' for all Users,
so that preferences could be saved.
If I run eclipse from the start-menu shortcut, everything works as it
should.
However, if I right click on a file, select 'open with / eclipse', or if I
associate eclipse with a filetype using "C:\Program
Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe" "%1" and then run the file,
a new instance of eclipse loads with the 'completing installation' screen
and creates a new 'workspace' folder in whichever folder I open the file
from.
This happens whether or not the file is within an eclipse 'project folder'.
Is it possible to set-up eclipse / windows so that I can double-click a file
and have it open in my already-running eclipse, with my saved preferences?
Also, is it possible to open a file which is not already in a 'project
folder', as this would be very handy?
Many thanks,
Carl
