Yes. I have that checked. I have discovered that if I open up excel and
the open the files within Excel, then all get grouped into one icon on the
taskbar. However, if I go through windows explorer and open all the files
at the same time, each files has its own icon.

Inside xl, do you have Tools|options|View Tab|windows in taskbar checked?

to accomplish it.

I usually go into excel and open several files at the same time by hold
my
ctrl key and clicking on all the files. Well in Excel 2000 each file
would
have it own box in the taskbar. I ust started using Excel 2003 and it
only
gives me one excel box in the task bar. So then I have to minimize the
file
I am using ato get to a different file.

Where is the setting to have a Excel box in the tqask bar for each file I
open.

I thought it had something to do with taskbar properties. I change the
setting and just gives me one excel box.

Thanks for the help.
