Windows in Taskbar issue

[Bryan in Bakersfield]

Is there a way to make the Windows in Taskbar feature actually work
correctly? I have Office 2003, but it seems the problem is still in Office
2007 based on other posts that I have read.

I have several spreadsheets that I need to switch between. The Windows in
Taskbar box is checked, the different Excel workbooks do not show up on the
taskbar. I have to go to Options and uncheck the Windows in Taskbar box
press ok then open Options again and re-check the Windows in Taskbar box.

I had read that Windows may not save my settings but since my checkbox is
checked when I start, it seems that my settings are being saved.

This is very annoying and a waste of time. Is there anyway to correct this?

I've found that if I open two files at the same time, right after
opening Excel, the Windows in Taskbar setting is ignored. So, I open a
single file first, then any other files.

I've also recorded a macro that turns the WIT setting off, then back on,
just in case.
