Loading Excel without Add Ins

Question

All,

I wrote a spreadsheet application which users load it by doubleclicking an icon I provide them. The problem is users have a lot of addins which slow Excel down. How can someone load Excel using command line switches to disable all add-ins ? The question applies to both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.

Many Thanks,

MK

Actually I have since found the way of doing it:

"Excel /automation"

Also using JavaScript:

var workingDirectory = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").CurrentDirectory; var x = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"); x.Visible = -1; x.Interactive = -1; x.Workbooks.Add();

Rgds,
