Re macro security you are the victim I think of a corporate policy. That
policy is saved here in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security\Level
You'd want to change Level from 2 to 1 (or delete Level) using the
Regedit.exe program but you may not have the rights.
I think the network folder being trusted is a policy too. Even if you could
change it on your machine you couldn't on other users' machines. I don't
know where that setting is in any case.
