Open Excel 2000 files in new windows like Word 2000
Hi
Does anyone know how I can open Excel (XLS) files in new Excel 2000 windows like Word 2000 (each Word (DOC) file is opened in a new window).
It is possible to start Excel from a DOS Prompt twice with different names, and then obtain two separate windows each containing one file - but this not an appropiate solution...

Brian

Hi Dracos,
Your answer was not all I needed. Your solution only put each XLS file into the task bar, I wanted each XLS in different windows. But, your hint helped me to solved the problem properly, and therefore I'll give you the points anyway.
The right solutions is to do what you propose. After that, you will have to add a new action, e.g. called oooo, and copy the program execution line from Open into this and add ["%1"], i.e. ["...\Excel.exe" \e "%1"]. And finally, mark this new action as the default/standard. Solved!
BTW, do not propose answers, only comments! Comments can be turned into answers ....
