How to open multiple slickedit windows in XP, In some thread it mentioned to invoke with "+new", Where you give option, I tried in cmd prompt and in shortcuts, both was not worked.
Could you guys let me know how to invoke multiple slickedit windows.

The following has worked for me for a very long time:
Code: [Select]
"D:\Program Files\SlickEditV16.0.2\win\vs.exe" +new

You said "not worked" - what happens?

Also, I have found with past versions that there can be some small problems sharing the configuration files when simply using +new. I'm not sure if this still applies, but what I do is copy my configuration (C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My SlickEdit Config\16.0.2) to a new folder (say C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My SlickEdit Config\16.0.2.alt). I run my first version of SE normally and then run something like the following to create the second version:

Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files\SlickEditV16.0.2 x64\win\vs.exe" +new +sc "C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My SlickEdit Config\Alt\"

(I am running Windows 7)

This is probably not related to your problem, but may be worth a try.
