Hi,
The easiest way to do this is to change evaluator in the second
notebook. To do this, use menu "Kernel\Kernel Configuration Options.."
then click New, change the name and hit OK. Next choose the newly
created kernel as the notebook's evaluator, by opening the notebook
in Mathematica, and using "Kernel\Notebook's kernel".
Then running Mathematica.exe second.nb would automatically launch
a new kernel for the second notebook, while the first notebook
would be running on the default kernel.
This recipe is subject to license limitations. Your license should
allow you to run two kernels at the same time.
Sincerely,
Sasha
