Default How to auto start a new Excel image or window when opening files

Is there a way to configure Excel to automatically open a new image or a new
window whenever additional files are opened when using explorer or shortcuts
to select the file to open? The default operation opens a single Excel
instance and any additional files are opened within the same window instance
and the windows can't be moved to different monitors. I am using multiple
monitors and want to place individual Excel instances or windows in different
monitors. Word creates seperate windows which can be moved to different
monitors by default. I could not locate an option for either starting a new
instance or opening a new window in the Excel tools options settings. I can
manually open multiple instances by starting another instance of Excel, then
select file, open and manually browse to the directory location, find the
file and select it. Windows XP Pro, Excel 2003 SP1 Thanks for any input...
