Opening multiple workbooks in Excel

B

I'm using Excel 2000. Up until recently, I've been able to open multiple
Excel workbooks (10+) and they would collapse in the task bar at the bottom
of the screen.

This also happens if you open multiple Internet Explorer browsers, Word
docs, etc.
It opens multiple windows until they collapse in the task bar.

This was great because it allowed me to click on the program in the task bar
and I could to select the specific workbook that I wanted to work in and
expand that one only.

Now (for some unknown reason) the workbooks tile in the background or body
of the program work area itself. This essentially forces me to minimize the
individual workbooks to get to the one I want to work with.

Oddly enough, I've found that if I click on the Excel icon and keep opening
multiple versions of Excel it will do what I want it to do but if I open one
version Excel and then open multiple files it won't work.

Does anyone know why this happens? How do I fix it?

And all along I thought you wanted to see the windows in the taskbar.
