Default Allow Auto Filter Within Macro in Excel 2003 (SP2)

I have the following macro which asks the user for a password and then
passwords all sheets within a workbook which works exactly as I want.

Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If WS.ProtectContents = True Then
Title = "Sheet already Protected"
Style = vbCritical
Message = WS.Name & " already protected"
MsgBox Message, Style, Title
E = E + 1
Else
Title = "Doing Protection"
Style = vbInformation
Message = WS.Name & " protected"
MsgBox Message, Style, Title
WS.Protect (PasswordEntered)

End If

However, I have now discovered that I need to allow Auto Filter and have
inserted the following line just before the ENDIF:-

WS.EnableAutoFilter = True

Unfortunately once the macro has run, the Auto Filter option is not showing
the showing.

I have tried to manually protect the sheets using Tools, Protecting, Protect
Sheet and selected Use AutoFilter and I get the desired effect.

What do I need to do to enable the macro to work properly?
