Default Detect Excel was started with Windows Task Scheduler

Using Excel 2000 to 2003.
I need to somehow detect that Excel was started with the Task Scheduler.
I don't need to open any particular workbook, but Excel has an add-in
installed that will open
(but load, so tick under Tools, Add-ins) an other add-in. This second add-in
will run code
with the workbook Open event. This code should only run though if Excel was
started with
the scheduler.
I have found only solution sofar, which involves opening a workbook with the
/p flag with a directory
as an argument but this doesn't work.
Thanks for any advice with this tricky problem.
