Opening Multiple Instance of VISIO 2010

I had a strange issue with Visio 2010, unable to open multiple instance of Visio and its hard sometime to switch back between the diagrams. 

I found the fix for the issue and posting the solution here for others to follow
  1. Open your registry (Start >> Run>> regedit
  2. Open the following registry path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Visio\Application\"
  3. Add a new Key>>  choose Binary Key and give it a name called "SingleInstanceFileOpen" 
  4. leave the default value "0 0 0".
  5. close the regedit window as well as all instance of Visio 

Open different instance of Visio and you should be good to go now...

Not sure why Microsoft did this injustice to Visio alone
