Open an Excel document in separate windows or Excel instances

Hi,

How can we click on an existing Excel workbook and  have it open in a separate Excel instance?
(we found File >> Options >> Advanced >> General >> Check the box "Ignore other applications that use 'Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)'", but when done, it always open an empty Excel with  no workbook content or blank workbook)

I have excel 2010, does this fix works for 2010?

Yes, if you have 2010 32 bits, no editing needs to be done.
Registry sometimes needs to be re-applied due to Office updates sometimes overwriting it.
