PuttyCm is a good utility to open mutiple putty sessions in the same window across tabs. However there are certain problems when instead of opening in a new tab the putty session opens in a new window which is cumbersome and annoying.
There are three ways to fix this problem:
1) Timeout option
2) Windows compatibility option
3) Windows registry settings
For "Timeout option"
Tools -> Options -> Select the check-box “Enable additional timing for PuTTY capture (ms)” -> set the value to 500 ms. Try even with value of 10,000ms (~10 secs)
If that does not work then try the above with "Windows compatibility option" as indicated by this blog post
If both the above solutions do not work then its possible that you do not have local admin priviledges. As each time puttycm tries to open a session in a new tab then it makes an entry in the windows registry. Check with your administrator if you have local admin rights granted. Once its granted puttyCm will open new sessions in a new tab.

- Right-click the executable file and go to Compatibility tab.
- Choose compatibility for Windows (as per your operating system).
- Toward the bottom of the Compatibility tab, tick "Run this program as an administrator".
