Choose Window>Actions to display the Actions panel. Click the "New Action" icon at the bottom to begin. Since what you want to do is invoke menu commands, go to the Actions panel menu and choose "Insert Menu Item," and follow the instructions. Add the "View>Show Rulers" menu item, and all the other things you want to do. To run the Action on multiple files, choose "Batch" from the panel menu, and choose the folder containing the files. If you want to overwrite them, choose the "Save and Close" option. Hope this helps! You can create Actions in Illustrator; this would do what you want very quickly.

I have a lot of .svg files which i ve to change with illustrator CS3 and i'm changing configuration of page ( show rulers, snap to grid etc. ) for every file. Is it possible to assign a default configuration for that unopened files. Thanks Nice trick,
