Workspace Not Remembered

[phuze]

Issue Type: Bug

Summary:

If you launch VS Code from the Windows Taskbar, or from the Start Menu, than any previously opened workspace, is automatically loaded. If right click a file from your computer, and click "Open with Code", than any previously opened workspace is lost, and you are forced to re-open the workspace again.

Expected Behaviour:

The workspace should automatically open even when opening a file in VS Code from the right-click context window.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VS Code from either the Windows Taskbar, or from the Start Menu
2. Open/load in a Workspace (File > Open Workspace...)
3. Close VS Code
4. Open VS Code again from either the Windows Taskbar, or from the Start Menu -- you'll note it automatically opens the workspace again.

Up until this point, things work as expected.

5. Close VS Code
6. Right click a file on your desktop, a text file or anything, and click "Open with Code" from the context menu -- you'll find the workspace you previously opened/loaded, is now closed.

This is inconsistent and I can repeat this over and over with the same outcome.
