I work with a lot of Excel sheets and have a dual monitor setup. As such what I'd to be able to do is drag one Excel window to Monitor 1 and one to Monitor 2.

Problem is, rather than open 2 instances of Excel, they are opened as two "windows" in 1 instance of Excel. Under Office / Windows 2000, you could click on a 2nd worksheet seperately and a new instance of Excel would pop up. Only seperate instances, not windows, can be dragged to seperate monitors (Resizing the Main Excel window to encompass both monitors is both a PITA and not effective as I'm running 2 different resolutions)

Anyone know how I can get multiple instances of Excel to open up instead of it bunching into a series of windows? I'm running Windows XP as an OS.

Thanks
