Single Sessions

My entire system crashed a couple days ago. The IT guys reimaged the pc and
I've lost a lot of settings.

Now, Excel always opens a new session anytime I open a workbook. In other
words, each workbook appears separately on my task bar. I'd like to have a
single session of Excel with all the workbooks in it. How do I force it to
open the workbooks in the same session/instance?
 
Maybe it's just:
tools|options|View tab|uncheck windows in taskbar.

If it's not:

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

Maybe one of these will work for you.
 
Found it, if anyone is interested.

Tools, Options, View, deleselt "Windows in Taskbar"
 
Thanks Dave..
