When you want to open a specific file in you can use a very easy 4 step proces: This directly brings you to a new Excel instance. Keep holding the Alt-key until the pop-up appears, just like before. First hover your mouse over the Excel Icon in the taskbar, click and hold the Alt-key and then click on the scroll wheel.
The second and also my favorite way is by using the scroll wheel. Press Yes to open a new instance of Excel. Hold down the Alt-key until the below window pops up. As the menu appears, hold down the Alt-key and left-click on the ‘Excel’ menu option. It works as follows: Right click on the Excel icon in the taskbar. The first method to open a new Excel instance is the Alt + Open method. Edit the Registry: Force Excel to Open New Instance by Defaultġ.
