Open New Instance of Excel 2010 with every file [closed]

I am using Excel 2010 and want to manage a large Excel files.

So I would like to open a new Excel Instance when opening every file from my Windows Explorer. At the point all files are opened in the same Excel Instance.

Any assistance is kindly appreciated.

John.

Go to a folder in Windows Explorer, then Tools -> Folder Options, then the File Types tab. For each of XLSM, XLSB, XLSX, etcetera, select it, then click Advanced, select Open in the Actions list, then click Edit.

Adjust the settings to:

Application used to perform action: - "C:...\EXCEL.EXE" "%1"

Use DDE - Checked

DDE Message *LEAVE BLANK*

Application - Excel

Topic - System
