Did you know... How to reuse the same editor window when opening files? - #115
Go to Tools - Options - Environment - Documents, and check the Reuse current document window, if saved option to give it a try.
If the current document window is dirty (meaning you've made a modification, but haven't saved yet), the next document will open in its own document window. However, if the current document is saved, then the new document will just open over it.
I tried using this from time to time when I owned testing it, but it wasn't for me.
