Default Simple Question......

....this is more a windows question.
i've started to use Excel2003 on XP

when more that 1 workbook are open I get more than one little Excel
window in the toolbar at the very bottom of my screen, therefore if I
have 10 workbooks open the bottom of my screen gets clogged with 10
Excel boxes. Some people might like this....I don't! ... anyone know
how I change my settings so as to only have one symbol for Excel (in
fact only one symbol for each open application)

help appreciated
Jason.

I think you need the 'Group similar items' don't you.

Right Click the taskbar/properties, and check the box...
