1312727 2012-11-15 17:54:00 Everytime i open a excel document say from a website, it launches excel and opens in it
Anymore excel documents i open, they open in that same instance of Excel rather then opening in a
separate Excel instance window.

How can I change this so everytime I open a excel document
it opens in a totally different Excel window

If you're opening Excel files on the internet, maybe the next one opens in the background? Have you checked the taskbar to see if there are additional instances of your browser or Excel?
