See the last section of http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm,
which contains two macros, AutoNew and AutoOpen, that do what you're
asking and more.

Note that for the purposes you mentioned, you don't need an AutoExec
macro. That one runs before there is any document, so trying to set a
view or zoom then would result in an error message.
