Excel 2010, в отличии от более ранних версий, по умолчанию открывает новые файлы Excel в одном родительском окне. Вероятно, такое поведение Excel 2010 вызвано желанием разработчиков сэкономить ресурсы оперативной памяти на компьютере пользователя, ведь в этом случае порождается всего один, а не несколько независимых процессов excel.exe. Но это решение иногда вызывает у пользователей определенные неудобства, так, например, при необходимости работать одновременно с двумя (и более) электронными книгами Excel – переключаться между разными книгами в рамках одного окна крайне неудобно.
Тот же Word 2010 ведет себя по-другому – каждый новый документ открывается в отдельном окне.
Сегодня мы покажем, как для Excel 2010 настроить открытие файлов в отдельных окнах. Такое поведение Excel особенно удобно при работе на компьютере с несколькими мониторами и позволяет разнести документы на разные мониторы и работать с ними одновременно (особенно часто так поступают различные бухгалтера, экономисты, статисты и другие «повелители» электронных таблиц).
- В первую очередь нужно определить на какой раздел реестра ссылается тот или иной тип файла Excel. Например, если нас интересуют файлы с расширением .xls, откройте редактор реестра (regedit.exe) и перейдите в раздел HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls. Нас интересует значение параметра (Default), В нашем примере в нем указано Excel.Sheet.8. Это означает, что параметры открытия этого типа файлов Excel задаются в разделе HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8. Для файлов типа .xlsx – это будет раздел HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12.
-
Важно! Перед модификацией реестра настоятельно рекомендуем создать резервную копию ветки, параметры в которой вы правите. Для этого щелкните ПКМ по нужному разделу реестра, выберите пункт меню Export и укажите имя reg файла, в котором нужно сохранить параметры этого куста реестра.
- Перейдем в раздел реестра HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\command. Заменим значение ключа: (Default) с «C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE» /dde на «C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE» /e “%1“. Т.е. в вместо /dde нужно указать /e “%1”.
Примечание. В нашем примере используется 32-битная версия Office 2010, запущенная на 64-битной версии Windows 7. В 32 битной ОС путь к файлу EXCEL.EXE другой.
- В этом же разделе переименуйте название ключа command, например в commandold.
- Переименуйте (или удалите) раздел HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\ddeexec, например в ddeexecold (ПКМ по ветке – Rename)
- Теперь попробуйте открыть несколько xls файлов – каждый из них должен открыться в отдельном независимом окне Excel 2010.
- Пункты 3-5 нужно повторить для каждого типа файлов, которые Excel должен открывать в отдельном окне (как определить нужную ветку реестра описано в п.1).
Чтобы не возится с ручной правкой реестра, мы подготовили 2 готовых reg файла (архив находится здесь):
Важно! Данные reg файлы предназначены для 32 битной версии Office 2010, установленной на 64 битной версии Windows. Если вы используете 32-битную версию Windows измените путь к excel.exe, заменив в обоих файлах значение Program Files (x86) на Program Files.
- Excel2010SeparateOn.reg – включает открытие файлов Excel (.xls, xlsx, xlsm и xlst) в отдельном окне
- Excel2010SeparateOff.reg – возвращает стандартные настройки, когда все документы открываются в рамках одного родительского окна
Совет. Выйти из положения можно и проще – запуская для каждого документа отдельный процесс Excel и открывая нужный документ через меню Файл->Открыть, но, согласитесь, это не удобно и несколько утомительно.

Worried that Excel won’t show different windows in the Taskbar? You’re not alone. But don’t despair – this article provides easy solutions to help you get back on track. Let’s take a look at how to fix the issue quickly and easily.
Excel Will Not Show Multiple Windows in the Taskbar: An Overview
I’m an Excel fan, but I’m having problems with it not showing different windows on the taskbar. You too? Let’s take a look at what’s going on and how to fix it. I’ll give you the lowdown of the issue, then we’ll see if any solutions can help. Ready? Here we go!
Firstly, let me explain what the issue is about. Then, we’ll go into some possible fixes for displaying multiple Excel windows on the taskbar.

Understanding the Issue: What’s Going On?
When you use multiple Excel windows in the taskbar, it can be annoying if it no longer works. The issue is, Excel may not show different windows in the taskbar, even if several workbooks are open. This can be caused by various factors, like an Excel add-in or COM component.
A potential cause might be running Excel as an administrator. Other possibilities are a different version of Windows or Excel than what you’re used to, or a registry key modified or deleted by a system update or user error. There might be other causes, too.
You need to identify the cause accurately to solve the problem. Some causes are easy to fix, while other require more troubleshooting. Depending on the root cause, you may need to make changes in Windows or Excel settings.
One solution is the “tile windows” feature, which resizes and displays two excel files side by side. This reduces workload, until you find a permanent solution.
Others have had similar issues, like Excel not displaying correctly on larger screens, or hidden ribbons or toolbars due to changes in preferences.
Troubleshooting: How to Identify the Problem
Frustrated with not being able to display different windows in the taskbar as an Excel user? This can be a real pain and affect productivity. Let’s troubleshoot.
First, make sure your Windows settings are properly configured.
Second, check your taskbar settings and display settings.
Finally, look into any advanced display settings that could be causing the issue. Let’s get to it!

Verify Your Windows Settings
Solving the problem of Excel not displaying different windows in the taskbar starts by verifying your Windows settings. Follow these steps:
- Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and select “Display Settings”.
- Scroll to the “Multiple displays” section and click “Advanced display settings”.
- Make sure “Extend desktop” is selected in the dropdown menu.
- Check each monitor has the correct resolution and orientation.
- Click “Apply” then “OK”.
If the settings are correct, there may be other issues. Update graphics drivers or there could be a conflict between the driver and Excel. It could also be a bug in Excel, requiring a patch or update from Microsoft. Check if other programs have similar issues – this could indicate a broader problem with the system.
To prevent future issues, keep software and drivers up-to-date. Check for updates from Microsoft and your computer/graphics card manufacturer.
Finally, check your taskbar settings to see if they cause any issues with Excel’s display of multiple windows.
Check Your Taskbar Settings
To solve the problem when Excel won’t show separate windows in the taskbar, it’s necessary to review taskbar settings. Here’s a six-step guide on how to do it:
- Right-click the taskbar.
- Choose “Taskbar Settings.”
- Scroll down and select the “Combine Taskbar Buttons” option.
- Pick “Never” from the drop-down menu.
- Check if this fixed the issue.
- If not, try restarting or updating Excel.
Windows might group similar programs under one icon in the taskbar, making it hard to figure out what’s causing the issue. Selecting “Never” for combining taskbar buttons creates a separate button for each window of a program, making it simpler to identify and access open Excel files.
This solution doesn’t always work. Some users still experience issues even after adjusting their taskbar settings.
I recall when I was dealing with multiple Excel files but couldn’t switch between them since they were grouped together under an icon in my taskbar. It was annoying because I needed to finish important tasks but couldn’t access my files properly. After discovering this solution of checking taskbar settings and changing them to “Never,” I was able to solve my problem.
Now, let’s move on to our next heading: Review Display Settings.
Review Display Settings
Troubleshooting why Excel does not show different windows on the taskbar? Review the display settings! To do this, just follow these steps:
- Right-click on the desktop. Choose “Display Settings” from the drop-down menu.
- Check if your computer notices all connected monitors under “Multiple Displays”.
- Make sure the resolution for each monitor is correct. Go to “Advanced Display Settings” and check the resolution.
- Arrange the monitors correctly. Drag and drop the representations in the “Multiple Displays” section.
Reviewing display settings can make sure Excel is correctly displayed on all connected monitors. It may also identify incorrect resolutions or misaligned arrangements. Plus, try adjusting the scaling or DPI settings in case they cause issues with Excel on multiple monitors.
Next step in troubleshooting? Check Advanced Display Settings! That’ll help users resolve the issue.
Check Advanced Display Settings
Do you have the issue where Excel doesn’t show different windows in your taskbar? To fix this, check the advanced display settings. Here’s a 3-step guide:
- Right-click on desktop, select “Display Settings” from the menu.
- Scroll down to “Advanced Display Settings” and tap it.
- See if the setting for “Multiple displays” is set to “Extend these displays“. If not, choose it from the dropdown menu.
This could solve the problem because when multiple displays are extended, each window of Excel will appear as a separate item in your taskbar. Without this setting, Excel may group all open windows into one thumbnail preview in the taskbar.
It might not work for everyone though, since other issues may cause this problem. But, it’s a great place to start before trying more complex solutions.
A story about this heading may tell of someone who tried many solutions to no avail, until finally finding that they needed to change their advanced display settings.
Next, we’ll explore solutions to the Excel won’t display different windows in the taskbar problem.
