Instead of launching the Mathematica.exe binary in the installation
directory, launch the Mathematica.exe binary in
SystemFiles\FrontEnd\Binaries\Windows. The former is a simple launcher
program which tries its hardest to redirect requests for opening notebooks
to running copies of the user interface. The latter is the user interface
binary itself.
