Default disable menu items

I am trying to disable menu items when a program that I created in MS Excel
is opened (most likely in the open Function). In the program I would like to
limit the user options so they have to follow my lead. I have provided all
the buttons they should need to run the program. I do not want them to adjust
anything.

sorry another quick question, do you know if opening the *.xlb file will
reset the menu ideas just as it does for the toolbars (the way they were when
the file was opened)
