Perhaps the differing behaviour as between that and what davidfor sees points towards it being operating system handling matter rather than a Calibre one?

EDIT after seeing BR's pretty picture: If I open multiple instances of the viewer, for example, they show as separate applications running not as parallel processes. So must be an operating system thing.

I think I remember you have Favorites plugin installed, I also tried pointing the entries in that at the startup shortcuts for the viewer and editor thinking that may be a difference but it ignored the shortcut and picked up the .exes for them.
@Another Cat My understanding is that in Win 7/8 quicklaunch doesn't exist as such, its rough equivalent is to pin a program to the task bar - I have calibre pinned but not the viewer or editor

Can't see why Favourites would have any effect - but I just tested it on vanilla calibre portable in safe mode with no network same result - when I invoke the viewer and editor via V and T they are grouped, if I install Open With PI and invoke them via it then they are not grouped.

To be pedantic my picture makes it clear what is happening, I suspect the only person who knows why it's happening is Kovid.

I saw something similar over the weekend when testing Jelby's Prince PDF PI - in that case I see what looks like a second instance of calibre itself in my task bar - and we all know you can't run multiple instances of calibre.
