The command

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe C:\PATH\TO\file.txt

opens a new instance of MS VS. I want to open files in an already opened VS, where I have my project defined and opened.

Is it possible?

Opens the specified files in a running instance of this application. If there are no running instances, it will start a new instance with a simplified window layout.
