How to make a windows shortcut to open a specific project?

I'm evaluating PHPStorm, but I have several different projects.

It seems PHPStorm can only open 1 project in a window?

How can I create different Windows shortcuts to specify the project that PHPStorm opens with?

In Eclipse I can specify the workspace that should be opened, is there an equivalent for this in PHPStorm ?

As others have said, you can create a shortcut that points to the exe followed by your project. In addition, beyond just adding one project, you can add multiple projects, and they all open when you open that shortcut:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\WebStorm 10.0\bin\WebStorm64.exe" "D:\code\proj_server" "D:\code\proj_client"

Another solution is creating separate shortcuts for each project. In the shortcuts target put:

"C:\<phpStorm_path>\PhpStorm.exe" C:\project\project-directory

Also note that this is related to webStorm as well.

Are you looking for

File > New Project from existing files

If you then try to open another project

File > Open Recent

PhpStorm will ask you if you want to open it in this window or new window
