You sure you just didn't have:

Tools|options|View|Windows in taskbar checked.

(It's only one instance of excel, but you can have multiple icons on the windows
taskbar.)

When opening multiple excel files they used to all open in separate
versions of Excel which was great because then I could easily Alt-Tab
between them. Now all of a sudden when ever I open new excel files by
double clicking the name they open in the same Excel program but as a
separate window. This is a real pain because it's hard to cycle
through them and they keep minimizing whenever I maximize another one.

I haven't changed any settings that I know of, is there a way to get
each file to open separately again?
