I use XL2003
If I have two workbooks open (A and B) and then use Start|Excel then my
taskbar has 1 Excel item but when I open it I see Microsoft Excel Book1,
FileA, FileB
Clearly I have two instances of Excel and I can but them side by side on
screen.
what do you see?

I would like to have two separate instances of excel.

I do not want to tile them within a single instance. I want to arrange
them
on the desktop.

I can do this in Word and used to be able to do it in Excel. Since Excel
2003 came on the market, I have not found the way to do this anymore. It
has
changed or I lost the recipe. I suspect MS made the change.
