Multiple excel file opening in same instance of window issue?
All the files will open in one instance window and we have to look for each files from selecting it with switch windows from VIEW section. This is a very lenthy process and for any users it is very tough to switch over the file and work. There is a setting that we need to apply with the registry and registry must be backed up before applying any changes.
It probably happens with the lower edition of Microsoft Office as like 2010. We can upgrade Excel program to the 2013, 2016, or 2019 as per the need. However, if there is need to have it with Office 2010 then there is a way that we need to follow to get that fixed.
| • Computer \ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Excel.CSV \ shell \ Open \ ddeexec and rename (old) ddeexec. |
| • Computer \ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Excel.CSV \ shell \ Open \ command and rename (old) the multi string from right pane. |
| • And change the default string value to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\EXCEL.EXE" /e “%1” |
| • Computer \ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \Excel.Sheet.12 \ shell \ Open \ ddeexec and rename (old) ddeexec |
| •Computer \ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Excel.Sheet.12 \ shell \ Open \ command and rename (old) the multi string from right pane |
| • And change the default string value to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\EXCEL.EXE" /e “%1” |
Once this change is done, need to reboot the system and then set up the default program to open the excel files.
