    How do I open multiple instances of the same file?


    I have a job where I need to use a template to use over and over again. At first, I did this with notepad for more than 3 years, I'd open multiple instances up to 16 of the same file to edit and fill out before copy and pasting into the necessary areas for work. But as of a few days ago, this is no longer the case. When I try to open multiple instances of the same file, it just highlights the single and only instance that is open and I don't want to go through the trouble of having to close the document, click on a button to NOT save any changes and re-open the file again. What do I do?

    :)

    How to open multiple images in same instance of Photo Viewer?


    Rather than use Photos I changed the Open with to Windows Photo Viewer then double-clicking a file in Pictures opened in Windows Photo Viewer which let me click the arrow to step through all the images in that Folder.

    Multiple instances of Windows Explorer

    So in the Processes tab, under Apps, however many Windows Explorers I actually have open is however many it will list, and expanding will list the specific folder that is open, there is no problem there. The problem is when you scroll down to Windows processes, that's where all the multiple instances are. Right now it's only showing 7 but that is because I restarted my computer a couple hours ago, I've counted as many as 40+ before.
