Default How to open new instance of excel if excel is already open?

Hi All

I'm kind of fighting with excel;-) I open an excel file by automation and
disable a lot of things, like save and save as...and a lot more. Now if this
excel is open and i try to open another excel file (this time with a
doubleclick on a normal excel file). the 2. file is opened in the same
instance(same excel.exe Process) and gets also all the disabled stuff i made
for the 1. excel file. Is there a way to tell the 2. file not to open in the
same instance but create a new one by default? or can i somehow lock my
excel.exe for other excel files, so that they automatically create a new exel
process?

thanks for the help
m.ahrens
