Every time I open a file another Excel open opens

I recently installed Excel 2010. My operating system is XP Pro.

Ever since I installed Excel 2010 I find that every time I open an
Excel file it opens a new Excel. It is not unusual for me to have 5
different Excels open even after I close a file. My bottom ribbon is
full of Excels! I previously used Excel 2003 and did not have this
problem.
I know these are different Excels operating because I am unable to
open a split window to show two different files.

Note - I usually open my files via Explorer.

Is there a setting that I can use to require that my single open Excel
can open any new Excel files I wish to open?
