Excel 2010 won't minimise when clicked from taskbar

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue after having upgraded to Office 2010 (from 2007, on a Windows XP machine). Previously, I could click on an excel window from the Windows taskbar to bring it to the front (or 'restore' it, if it was minimised) and then click it again to minimise it to the taskbar.

Now, clicking it when it's minimised will still bring it to the fore, but re-clicking it just brings focus to the taskbar and doesn't minimise.

I've done some googling and found a smattering of other people having the same issue, but no real solutions. Anybody have any advice?

Cheers,
Luke
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Same problem here, small but annoying. I had a look through the options menu but found nothing.

All other programs minimise when you click their tab on the taskbar but excel 2010 does the restore function????
