Prevent common VBA and OLE hacks

Excel workbook files can be saved as files on disks with VBA and/or OLE commands. To prevent this hack, XLS Padlock has a security option named “Do not allow loading/saving other workbooks”.

Turn this feature on. If you are having issues with that feature (for instance, your workbook must save other workbooks with VBA), some solutions exist.
