Opening scope projects without livebar works nomore?

Since I went to (I suppose) SFP v.4.5, I cannot open scope projects anymore by double clicking on them (as described here: http://www.planetz.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5884) nor dragging them from the file browser (or from explorer folders) into routing window or anything.
I clearly remember I was able to load projects those ways since "the beginning" (those pulsar 1.2 days...)
Is it only an installation problem on my system or this functionality has been lost in latest versions of sfp?

no, i think it's a windows issue. the .pro extension needs to be linked to the scope 4.5 .exe(tools/folder options/file types).....

Hi gary, thanks for the fast replay.
Yes, the .pro extension is registered to be opened by sfp.exe, but it seems in my case sfp refuses to open the project:
if I pass the .pro file like an argument while launching sfp by command line or by dragging it on a shortcut or doubleclicking on it, sfp starts but with a new project.
Not any effect if sfp is already open or other methods described in my first post.
Currently the only way that works for me is to open projects from the live bar menu.
Does this behaviour happen only to me? :-?
Anyway I'll try to do some reinstalling or messing around with files, maybe previous versions of sfp.exe will do the trick...

Thanks
Fede

possibly if you just remove the association and then re-enable it it will work properly...

Gary, I tried... but no luck :(
I've tried also to substitute sfp binaries with previous versions of files, but nothing changes.
Don't know what to think, it is clear that the project name is passed as argument and arrives to sfp.exe, but I can't understand why it is ignored also with drag and drop.
I noticed flashing in the taskbar if I double click on a project: consequently I'd expect to see some message box asking to save current project, but nothing happens.
