Are these toolbar buttons expanding so you only see the first 5 or 6 and the
rest go off to the right, hidden unless you put the cursor on the arrow?

If that's the case, you will have to live with it. It comes and goes and has
been doing so for years. It is an issue that will never be addressed by MS.

You can grab the bottom of the toolbar with the cursor and push it up, and
then back down to get the buttons back to their regular size.

I go for weeks with no problem, and then it happens a number of times a day.

Some people choose to use small icons and even no text to compensate. I
don't bother, but a choice if you want it.

For no obvious reason to me, my OE 6 customized toolbar reverts back to a
toolbar with only a handful of icons.. If I close it out and restart it,
my toolbar returns to normal. This problem has become a pain in the butt
because it seems to happen several times a day. It did it a few minutes
ago, just before I started to open this NG, and then it reverted back to
normal right after. Any clues to what might be going on or how I might
fix
it?

PS: It's not a virus or spyware because I have NIS 2007, along with a
couple of spyware packages (Ewido Anti-Spyware and Ad-Aware SE Personal).
All virus definitions update automatically and a full system scan is
conducted once per month.

Thanks!
