I did the same on my prior computer, and had no difficulty.
Alan Hymes said:Same here. I upgraded from 2002 to 2003 on 4 different computers and am
having the same problem on all 4. Again, even if I just move a toolbar.
When I get out of Outlook and then get back in the toolbars are back where
they were originally. Seems that none of the moves/customization that I
do
will "stick".

Note that third party toolbars from add-ins are being controlled by the
add-in and not Outlook. If these toolbars lose their customization and
location between Outlook session you'll have to contact support for that
add-in.

Wow! You guys are good. You didn't get my problem resolved, but the
answers
and questions came back in barely minutes.
I am using Outlook 2003 with all Microsoft updates. I have a brand new
computer that isn't even junked up with anything. In installed Office
2002
and then Outlook 2003. During the installation, it uninstalled Outlook
2002.
As far as I know, it is shutting down correctly. No hangups occur on
shutdown.
Anything?

Chris,
Not sure what version of Outlook you are using. There could be a lot
of
things going on. First make sure the computer is defragged and
running
well.
Then close out everything on your computer all the icon running in
the
system tray then try setting the option in outlook at and see if
works
better. You can also try to set the setting in safe mode but
sometimes
the
dialogs are harder to use in safe mode. Good Luck.

When I go to Tools>Customize and check "large icons" and "always
show full
menus" that setting is not retained when the computer is shut
down.
Does
anyone know how to fix this?

location as the add-in is programmed to remember it.

After playing with it more, it appears that it has to do with other toolbars
like Adobe PDF or the Symantec SPAM toolbar. If you move these around, they
don't stay where you put them. Even if you just move one of the Outlook
"standard" or "advanced" toolbars if it impacts the placement of the PDF
toolbar or SPAM toolbar, you will loose it's placement.
Summary, any movement that impacts a 3rd party toolbar will be lost. Or
moving a 3rd party toolbar will also be lost.
