I think also there is a standard template under each users directory for Excel. something like aread.xlt in common files or the system or document & settings folders etc. When Excel opens, it checks the current user logged on & opens this file - it's a bit like the normal.doc template for MsWord.

The easiest way would be to write a macro in this file & it'll excecute every time this user opens up excel if you didn't want to fiddle with the registry
