Default enabling macros from command line

Write a VBS (or other) script that creates an instance of Excel that then
opens your workbook. Macros in it will be enabled regardless of the user's
security settings. You can have your code called from the Workbook Open
event in the workbook or you can use RUN to execute the code.
