You can yeah theres a few pages on the net that tell you how. There are some tweaks you can do, me I can't be bothered so all I do is:
double click first file - opens excel.
Then just go into Start - Programs - Office and click excel (not by double clicking another different file) and this starts up a separate excel process so you can have on 2 windows

P.S. This works fine at home for me, but at work I can't drag the window onto the second monitor.... need to dig into the settings methinks.

Worked this one out by watching said "wimmens".....
She ONLY ever opens by clicking on the file, not the program in the start menu.
All works fine, but RM IT support couldn't work this one out !
I also said she could have three monitors, two for excel and one for e-mails, but again IT support said "You can't have three monitors... because you don't have enough desk space." I despair....

Assuming you don't mean 2 worksheets from the same workbook?
Which version of office? I haven't worked it out or researched Excel 2007 yet, but when I had office 2003 on XP, you can set the xls file type to not 'browse in same window' or something.
This should mean a new instance of Excel every time you just double clicked a spreadsheet.
