Taskbar display order
I noticed today the unlike other programs Excel displays its name before the
file name in the task bar, this makes it very hard to tell which file is being worked on if the task bar is full, or if the resolution of the computer is low. I think the name and the file name should be swapped to be like Word which shows the name first. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Taskbar display order
All Office programs behave the same way. That has nothing to do with Excel.
That is a Windows setting. The setting is in Control Panel - Taskbar and Start Menu -Taskbar, Uncheck "Group similar taskbar buttons". You will now have a button for each open workbook.

Taskbar display order
I know this isn't right, or at least isn't a correct interpretation of what I
am seeing as wrong. Let me explain the steps to see what I see. Run Microsoft Word -A new item should appear on your taskbar, for me it shows the Word Document symbol and then have next to it Document 1 - Microsoft Word Run Microsoft Excel - A new item should appear on your taskbar, for me it should the Excel symbol and next to it says simply Microsoft Excel For me it doesn't show the name of the excel file im working on, and this is after i made the change you suggested.

Taskbar display order
Also if I go into excel and maximize the new book it created the task bar
item changes from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Excel - Book 1 This is what confuses me. If i have more items on my task bar and the ammount of space given to that item is reduced then i won't be able to see the Book 1 Part at all, but if I look at the Word item it starts with the name of the document I am working on. I am just confused why it changes between the two programs, I can't seem to find a setting to inverse the parts.

Taskbar display order
The only option I see in Excel 2007 that affects the task bar is Excel
Options - Advanced - Display - Show all windows in the taskbar. Whether that option is checked or not, the only time that I see Microsoft Excel by itself in the taskbar button is when there is no open workbook or when there are too many open workbooks to display in individual buttons. If a workbook is open, the name of the workbook is in the button. Tyro "Thomas Dziuk" wrote in message ...

Thomas
Could be a while before your suggestion is implemented. In the meantime, place this code in your Personal.xls. The code turns off the "Microsoft Excel" caption for that session of Excel.
