Single Sessions
My entire system crashed a couple days ago. The IT guys reimaged the pc and
I've lost a lot of settings. Now, Excel always opens a new session anytime I open a workbook. In other words, each workbook appears separately on my task bar. I'd like to have a single session of Excel with all the workbooks in it. How do I force it to open the workbooks in the same session/instance? |

Maybe it's just:
tools|options|View tab|uncheck windows in taskbar. If it's not: Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on the file in windows explorer: Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it) --- or --- Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's factory defaults. Maybe one of these will work for you. StephanieH wrote: My entire system crashed a couple days ago. The IT guys reimaged the pc and I've lost a lot of settings.
