Thx Sheeloo.
The full path worked, mostly. If I open 1 excel workbook it still shows
"Microsoft Excel". Once I open a second workbook the "MS Excel" disappears,
even if I close the 2nd workbook the "MS Excel" doesn't re-appear.
When I open a word doc "MS Word" flashes in the Taskbar Tab for a
microsecond, then just shows the Icon and filename.

Thx again, I'm very impressed with the speed and accuracy of the response.

This is probably because Excel is opening all workbooks in separate
instances...

Try
Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe (most likely C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office12)

In that case StartRun "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes
required)OK

Windows Vista Bus / Excel 2007:
How do I show just the filename on my Excel taskbar tabs?

My taskbar shows [Excel Icon] "Microsoft Excel - Filename1", with multiple
tabs on my taskbar I typically can't see which "Filename" is which because
there is not enough space. eg. "Microsoft Excel - Fil"
MS Word Tabs on the taskbar only show [Word Icon] filename.
The Word and Excel Icons are enough to know what app the tab is, I don't
need to see the words "Microsoft Excel"
