If you're running xl2k or higher, you can show these windows/workbooks on the
taskbar:

Tools|options|view|check windows in taskbar

If you're running xl97, you could have multiple instances of excel running. But
I think that this makes things more difficult.

(The windows in taskbar stuff actually is just using one instance of excel.)

I think this might help you....

But if you want to be able to double-click a workbook in Explorer and get a
new instance of Excel, that can be done by changing your file associations.
Basically you disable DDE and add a "%1" to the Excel command line.
