Windows in Taskbar

F

I have a user that is using Excel 2000 and the option for Windows in Taskbar
keeps on unticking itself. This means that all workbooks are displayed under
the same Excel tab on the Taskbar.

If they go back into the options and re-select the "Windows in Taskbar"
option all the workbooks come back as seperate entries on the Taskbar. The
option seems to de-select itself while they are in Excel working.

I have tried upgrading to Excel 2003, re-creating user profile and running
all updates for Excel 2003 - nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any
suggestions please?

Hi

I believe this setting is determined by the first workbook that is opened in
the Excel session. Check whichever book is the first to be opened and make
sure that the Windows In Taskbar setting is correct on that book.

This is a bug with shared workbooks in Office 2000 and it seems there never
was a fix for it.

Excel 2002 has corrected the bug, although you say you have the same problem
with Excel 2003, which seems strange. I can't replicate the problem.

Maybe you could use a workbook that checks this setting each time it could get
changed:
