How do I minimize multiple Excel files to just one Excel icon on .

[Lari]

Just got Windows XP/Professional and Excel 2003 after being in an Office 2000
environment. In Excel 2000 when multiple worksheets were open and I
minimized to my Taskbar only 1 Excel icon showed up. Now in Excel 2003, when
I minimize, there is an icon for Each spreadsheet that I have open. Only
want 1 icon since I do have multiple spreadsheet open in Excel often.

this is a new feature in xp. if you have enough apps open
(excel,access,outlook,ect) the icon will reduce to 1 and
will have a number on it showing how many files you have
open. click the icon and a popup will display the file
names. i hate it.
