How can I make MATLAB open .m files on the same window that is currently open (open as a new tab next to the current tab)?

I recently received a computer from our department and tried to open .m files. (R2017a) Whenever I double-clicked them, they opened in new windows. But these new windows do not include the new .m files that I tried to open; they still had the old tabs that were open already. I also tried to drag and drop .m files to MATLAB window that was open and it didn't let me open them, showing me a circle mouse icon with a cross in it. My labtop has the same version of MATLAB (R2017a) and the things I mentioned above do not happen at all. Can anybody help me with this issue?

Open the .m file and after that you click Crtl+Shift+D. It helps dock to .m file to main MATLAB page. If it helps please vote :))

You can associate file types to the required MATLAB application. Here is the link that discusses settings to associate file types with a certain application.

Doesn't work properly. Opens .m fles in MatLab, but in a new MatLab window. Doesn't open the .m file in the same window (already open window).

I have the same problem on linux. That Matlab opens a new Window instead of a new tab, when opening a file from the file-explorer.
