Default Toolbar Customization not being saved.

This doesn't answer the actual question! How do we save the customizations
that we create within the Outlook toolbars without them being lost each time
the program is closed???
Thank you... JonCLP

Reset the Toolbar; all Toolbar customizations will be lost and the Toolbar
will reset to what it looked like when you first installed Outlook. To do
this locate outcmd.dat and rename it to outcmd.old when Outlook is closed.
By default you can find it here;
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Hi,
I am using outlook 2003. I am facing a starange problem. If i add some
toolbar say advanced or web and then make some changes to suite my needs
like
location of the added toolbar or removal or addition of buttons. it works
fine but the changes are not being saved. If i close and then reopen
outlook
new added toolbars remains there but the changes i made to toolbar like
moving or button addition or deletion gets lost. I have also reinstalled
the
ofice.

Same fuction is working fine on another PC.
What could be the reason...

Thanks...Vineet

It does answer the question. Your toolbar configuration is corrupted and
therefore needs a reset. The answer explains how to do that.
