Excel can not display 2 windows in taskbar
 

I have MS Excel 2000 installed on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation SP6a. I made
the following setting in Excel: Tools / Options / View / Windows in Taskbar -
checked. But when I open 2 files with Excel they appear in one window. I
would like to open 2 files with Excel with 2 windows in taskbar. I made
detect and repair of Excel. Please help me !

Saved from a previous post...

Is the workbook shared? (A bug in xl2k turns it off for shared workbooks.)

You could create a new workbook saved into XLStart (or put this into your
personal.xls workbook) and it'll toggle that option each time you open a
workbook.

In the ThisWorkbook module:

Option Explicit
Public WithEvents xlApp As Excel.Application
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set xlApp = Application
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Close()
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_NewWorkbook(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = True
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = True
End Sub
