Is the workbook shared? (A bug in xl2k turns it off for shared workbooks.)

You could create a new workbook saved into XLStart (or put this into your
personal.xls workbook) and it'll toggle that option each time you open a
workbook.

In the ThisWorkbook module:

Option Explicit
Public WithEvents xlApp As Excel.Application
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set xlApp = Application
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Close()
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_NewWorkbook(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = True
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = True
End Sub

I just recently started having the same problem. I can only see the
current file's title in the taskbar. If I open another worksheet, the
only way I can work on the first worksheet is to click window and then
choose the worksheet. I already clicked the detect and repair button
and also re-installed microsoft office. The button "group similar
taksbar buttons is not checked. Any help would be appreciated!!
