I need to prevent Excel from opening in normal mode and want to open that in safe mode always. I can use the startup switch /s when I run excel.exe directly but how do I make excel alway open in safe mode even when called from outlook when I open excel attachment. Currently when I open excel attachment from outlook, it opens in normal mode. I tried making registry changes to append /e /s to class_root hives wherever excel.exe appears, but it still doesn't open in safe mode.<br />
<br />
any help is much appreciated.<br />
<br />
many thanks in advance

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
