Default Disable Excel's Auto Formatting

In Excel 2000, if you have a text of more than 15 digits
(eg: "12345678912345678912345"), excel automatically
changes this into exponential. If you have leading zeros
in a cell (eg: 0001), excel strips the leading zeroes.

Without changing the cell format, how do I disable excel's
automatic cell value formatting. Is there registry setting
that needs to be set?
