Force excel to start new instance when I double-click a workbook
Yes, I've seen this question posted all over the web.
No, I've not seen a satisfying answer so far. I would like to: -) Double-click any two XLS-Files in Explorer, and have them opened in separate windows (NOT just separate taskbar entries!) I have seen solutions that: -) Ask me to manually open a new instance of excel and open the file. -) Require macros -) Change the file type settings in Explorer / Foilder options - this didn't change anything! -) Check the option "Ignore other applications" - suddenly my regular files will not open anymore -) Instruct me how to get separate taskbar entries - that's not what I need -) Require me to manipulate single file shortcuts - I want a solution that works by default I dimly remember a solution exists - something about a registry setting. Anyone in the know? Thanks! Robert |
