I tried the solution above for the Win7 Excel 2010 environment and was
unsuccessful (using the same guide lines for Office14). I tried the
following change and was able to open the two Excel windows properly.
Works for
Excel 2010 & Win7 (could work for 07 not tested)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Registry Editor ver6.1
-Go to Branch:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command
(Note: it doesn't matter what is listed under default)
-Change the value command and under data remove /dde (above listed /e) and add after existing string the following code below
/p "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice14EXCEL.EXE" /e "%1"
(Note: /p switch will ignore the (default) open settings)
-Go to Branch:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ExcelSheet.12\shell\Open\ddeexec
-Rename ddeexec2

It works well without doing rename to ddeexec. :)
