makes a cell auto-evaluate whenever the notebook is opened and the kernel is launched.
Details

- Initialization Cell toggles the option InitializationCell between True and False on the selected cell objects.
- The option InitializationCellEvaluation, set at the notebook level, determines when the initialization cells in a notebook are evaluated.
