Formatting bar not where it was

[BetteBoop57]

For some reason, the formatting bar in Outlook 2003 will not stay under the
subject line. I drag it down and the very next time I start Outlook, it's
right back up under the regular toolbar.
How can I make it stay where I want it to? I've never had a problem before,
it's just recently...more then likely after an update?
Thanks in advance,

Same thing happen when you start Outlook in its safe mode which does not
load any add-ons that you installed into Outlook?

outlook.exe /safe

If an add-on modifies an existing toolbar to add a button for that add-on,
it can screw up [remembering] the position for the parent toolbar in which
it is inserting its button. That is, the add-on is modifying the toolbar to
add its button but does so on-the-fly when the toolbar gets displayed. By
disabling all add-ons when you load Outlook, you eliminate the possibility
for the add-on to load and then modify the toolbars.
