Hi,

Can anyone tell me, where the Outlook custom toolbar and buttons information
are
persisted. Are they persisted in the registry or in some special files?? or
within exchange? And can I use this information (for e.g. removing registry
entries or deleting files or information within files) to delete the custome
toolbar without using automation?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,
Laks

It's stored in the outcmd.dat file in an undocumented binary format. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm

Outcmd.dat. You either delete the entire thing and get rid of all
customizations or change things in the UI by customizing. Outcmd.dat isn't
really editable or documented that I know of so you'd have to reverse
engineer it to be able to edit it.
