Default Opening Multiple Workbooks

Going to Tools/Options/View/Windows in taskbar is only a temporary fix for
me. If I close Excel and reopen Excel, this checkbox is still marked but
when I open my workbooks, they group in the taskbar. I have to uncheck the
box and recheck the box to view my open workbooks in the taskbar. Sure, I
can Crtl-Tab between them but I want to see them like I used to be able to
prior to 2003 version. Any ideas?

Go to the Tools menu, choose the Options, then the View tab.
There, check the "Windows in taskbar" setting.

I want to open mulitple workbooks and be able to alt+tab between
them.
Currently I cannot do this as I have to select Window and then
the workbook I
wish to view. It's as if it will only allow me to open excel
once. I'm
seeking to operate excel similar to how you would operate MS
Word if you had
multiple docements open. They each appear as their own Word
program on the
Windows menu bar.
I'm operating with Excel 2003 on WindowsXP OPS.
