Some options are file specific and some are Access installation specific. You
should be using the startup options to hide the menus and toolbars as that is a
file specific setting. You also should not be programmatically setting any
Access level options unless you change them back when your app is terminated.
Most of the behavior those options affect can be controlled by other means than
messing with the user's settings anyway.
