    One instance using multiple workbooks

    Hi everyone,
    So my question is this, I want to have one instance of excel open with multiple workbooks open within that instance. The trick is I don't want to have to select "Group Similar Taskbar bar buttons" on my task bar properties.

    In 2003 you could go Tools-Options and under "view" tab and un-check the "Windows in taskbar" option. You could then go to Window in excel and see all of the open workbooks.

    I have attached an image that shows in 2003 how I would like to see the open workbooks in 2007.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    the default is to open windows in same instance anyway
    you have to change the registry to force 2007 to open new instance on open.
    thatdrop down menu is on the "switch windows" on the view tab
