Default EXCEL files and Windows - - an open and shut case?

Hi

Im using windows 7 64bit and Office 2007

Please can someone explain how I can open 2 Excel files in separate Windows?
Currently when you open 2 files they both open in the same window but
different tabs.

I have searched around and found the following answers for XP and Vista

€śOpen Windows Explorer

Select "Tools"

Select "Folder Options"

Select the "File Types" Tab

Scroll down to find and select the XLS extension

Click the "Advanced" Button

Select the "Open" action from the list

Click the "Edit..." Button

Where is says "Application used to perform action:"

If not already there, add:



/e "%1"



to the end of the file path

Uncheck the "Use DDE" box

Click OK

Click OK

Click Close€ť





But I cant see how to do that in Windows 7



Can someone shed some light on this for me,

Thanks
