When double click on excel file how can I open it in a separate Excel window

I am using Excel 2002 SP-2.


When double click on existing excel file it opens in an
existing excel window as another document. How can I
configure it to open a double clicked file in a separate
window?

This is one of the suggested fixes when people want to stop multiple instances
of excel:

An alternative might be to do:
Try Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

So you might want to check that option to see if that helps you.
