I typically live on Powershell at work these days, to my chagrin being
stuck on a Windows platform. The easiest solution in my mind is just to
write a Powershell wrapper script which runs Vim with the first file if
it's not already running. Toss this into Start-Vim.ps1:

$ProcessActive = Get-Process "vim.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
If ($ProcessActive) {
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\Vim74\vim.exe" --remote @args
} else {
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\Vim74\vim.exe" @args
}

Put that somewhere convenient. Assuming you've got anything after XP,
Powershell's already onboard. XP you'll need to install it. Then in your
SendTo folder, put a .bat file containing:

powershell -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command "&
c:\path\to\Start-Vim.ps1 %*"

That should be all you need (although I haven't tested it yet, and files
with spaces in the path might give it a headache.); the Powershell part
is functional (I use it daily), it's the batch file that runs it from
the cmd shell that may cause issues.

Hope it helps!
