This example is exactly the format I was looking for:

assoc .c=sourcecode
assoc .h=sourcecode
assoc .pl=sourcecode
assoc .py=sourcecode
ftype sourcecode="C:\Program Files\Vim\vim72\gvim.exe" --remote-silent
"%1"

Now double clicking files opens only one instance of vim and only one
tab.

Thank you.
