PA, I have not tried that yet but going directly to a newsgroup brings my
toolbar back to normal so I'm betting that your rec will do it too. Once it
does it again, I will try your suggestion. If so, any clues as to how I can
fix it? Thanks!

With Folder pane enabled (View Layout Folder List): When this happens,
does clicking on *Outlook Express* at the top of Folders pane and
returning back to the folder in which the problem occurred resolve the
problem?

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!
