Use the Start menu to open a second instance of Excel, and then get into the habit of using drag-and-drop (or Office Orb - Open) to open the second file, rather than double-clicking. You will probably also want to turn off "Show all windows in the Taskbar" (Orb, Excel Options, Advanced, under the Display section), to avoid problems with DisplayFusion.
There is another workaround that allows double-clicking to work, namely, disable DDE. This can cause other problems, and I do not recommend it. It's not that much more trouble to drag-and-drop vs. double-click.
Thanks for the tip UK_Wildcat_Fan, I'd never heard of that utility.
