Anyone seen this before? Excel 2000 vs. W2K Pro (SP3 on both)

Open Excel, open a bunch of other applications. Excel stays in the taskbar to the left of all the other programs.

Now, within the Excel app, open a spreadsheet. Close the spreadsheet and Excel jumps to the far right of the applications in the taskbar.

It's my understanding that the taskbar lists programs from left to right based on the order that they were opened. Why would the Excel app move since I'm not closing the program, just a file within it? I'll give all my Grasshopper points to the first person with right answer...

Excel 2000 is threaded. The application actually opens a second thread of itself when you open a new spreadsheet and closes the original thread. Replace "thread" with the proper concept for reloading itself and that will make sense.
 
I'm running Windows 2000 Pro with Excel 2000, and that doesn't happen for me. It stays right where it was when I opened it. Pretty cool huh?
