Opening STP files from the file explorer/emails opens new inventor window instead of the current window. (Inventor 2025)

I changed the open with to "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2025\Bin\Inventor.exe" in my file explorer for STEP files, but it keeps opening my files in a new inventor window and not in the window I'm working in. I can work around this by opening this from inventor window I'm working in, but that is very time consuming when opening multiple files. Anybody know how I can fix this?

My favourite way to import is just drag and drop onto the Inventor titlebar. 

You can do this will multiple files at a time and it will open them all within the same session. 

 

Hope that helps you?
