Asif,

In that case you should do the following:
1. get in touch with the application writers and tell them
to reset the original settings when you exit the program
2. refer to Nikos's answer!!

Tony,
Thanks very much! But the problem is I can't do anything
with the code, as
it's a commercial program.

Asif,

This is probably happening due to the VBA in your excel
app changing the properties you have listed.

You need to ammend the code in your app so that it stores
your original excel settings before changing them and
then
resets them back to the original settings when it closes.
