Solved Open files in new instance of Excel

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering if there is a way that when I open a file in Excel, then open another it doesn't open in the same instance. Because I normally I want to snap them left or right.

I can right click > open a new instance and drag the file into it which creates to instances and a new book 1 which I can close.

But I was hoping theres a setting I can change that makes it open in it's own Excel window.

Word does this fine.

Any Ideas?

Cheers,
Liam

You can open two Excel files in same instance each taking half of the screen (View - Arrange all - Tile), see first screenshot attached.

Or you can use command Run as in elevated command prompt or create a bat file with this command.

Something like
Of course instead Guest you can use any other user created in Control panel - User accounts.

In this case file will be run as a different user (see second screenshot - Guest vs. Admin).
