Default Excel Taskbar button disappears when excel is minimized

I have been experiencing this issue for a few months now with excel 2003.

When I minimized excel, the taskbar button disappears and I am unable to see
the open worksheet anymore. If I open up Task Manager, under applications I
can see that excel is still running but in order to use it I must select it
and then switch to that task. Is there a way to make excel stop disappearing
from the taskbar? Although I can get back to my workbook it is starting to
become frustrating that I must use the task manager.

Excel is the only program experiencing this error. All other office programs
work great.

Any suggestions here will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

In Excel, try going to "Tools", "Options", click on the "View" tab and check
the box next to "Windows in Taskbar".
