Standard Toolbar Customise won't hold.

[Denzil Hathway]

OL 2000, Internet only, XP. I wonder if anyone can help me ... an MVP maybe?
I have on several occasions recently painstakingly Customized my Standard
Toolbar only to have it revert to its default state on closing and reopening
again. Other Toolbars that I unchecked reappear. It never used to do that.
What did I do? Denzil.

Best to start with a new outcmd.dat file. Close Outlook, rename outcmd.dat
to .old (use search and enable hidden files). Then reopen Outlook,
customize the default toolbar to your liking. Close Outlook. Find and COPY
the outcmd.dat file to a safe location in case you need to reload it.
