I run Office 2003 on windows 7 pro.
I have recently done a complete clean re-installation of win 7.
Prior to that I had shortcuts on the taskbar to several excel files with macros.
Each shortcut has it’s own icon to distinguish it.
In the earlier installation I had only installed a few of the non-security updates.
Clicking any shortcut opened the appropriate file. Clicking another shortcut would open it’s appropriate file and remove the other from view.
After the clean re-install, I loaded all the updates.
I put the same shortcuts as before on the taskbar but now, when any of their icons is clicked, the file is opened, but a new taskbar icon (call it new NTI) representing the host software (Excel) also opens. Now, when I press another shortcut, the NTI flashes. If I select it shows one of the other shortcuts. If I select this, I get a message that the file is already open. In other words the behaviour with the NTI confuses the issue.
I would like to have the simple arrangement I had before the re-install, as described above.
