Task Bar

[Aaron Newhoff]

We just got XP professional here at my office and we're
curious about an annoying new "feature." When I run Excel
and open several files, each one shows up as a separate
item in my task bar, as opposed to the old way where excel
just showed up once in the task bar and you would get to
different files through the 'Window' menu in Excel. The
new way makes it much more cumbersome to move between
applications, for example Excel and Access, especially
when you have several windows in each application open.
I've found that you can either have the task bar group the
windows (not good) or not group the windows (even worse).
Is there a way to get it back to the old look?

Thanks,
Aaron

This is a feature of Excel. In Tools > Options > View uncheck "Windows
in Taskbar"
