saving toolbar preferences

I get my Internet Explorer toolbars just the way I want
them, and next time I open IE, the toolbars have changed.
How can I save these preferences?
Thanks, group.

Download: ResetBrowserToolbar.reg

Note: "AUTOTKIT.EXE" from HP is known to cause Toolbar resets.

Leo,

I'm having the exact same problem on my new XP machine. I unlock the toolbars, move them where I want them, remove the ones I don't want to see, and then lock the toolbars (which, by the way, isn't necessary to save their positions). When I then log off and back on, the toolbars are back in their original positions and the toolbars I removed are back.

I have reset the toolbar with the registry patch that Mike Burgess suggested - no change.

This is getting frustrating.

Jeff,
"AUTOTKIT.EXE" from HP is known to cause Toolbar resets.
Also several other 3rd party (adware\parasite) BHO\Toolbars
can cause resets ....

Mike,

Thanks for the info. I JUST discovered this fact independently and have already made the change - it works. Maybe this is Leo's problem too.
 
Jeff,
You're welcome .... glad to see you have things resolved.
