Are you sure that they're closing?

xl2002 added a windows in taskbar that allowed you to see all the open
workbooks/windows in the Windows taskbar.

Maybe you have all of the workbooks open, but the taskbar only shows the
activewindow.

If you click on window on the worksheet menubar, how many open workbooks do you
see.

If you see lots (and are running xl2k (or higher)), then
tools|options|View tab|check windows in taskbar.

I have Excel 2000 and Win XP pro.

I used to be able to highlight many XLS files in Explorer, right click, choose
open and all the highlighted files would open in Excel with the different xls
files on my task bar.

I can still do this on my W98 computer, but I can only open one file at a time
on my Win XP computer. If I double click on a 2nd XLS file the 2nd XLS file
opens and the first file closes.

I tried the run excel.exe /regserv fix but this did not solve the problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this for Win XP?

Thanks

Dennis
