Outlook toolbars

[Eddie]

I recently installed Norton AntiSpam which, of course,
added a toolbar to Microsoft Outlook 2000. In an effort
to get both the Standard Microsoft Outlook toolbar and
the AntiSpam toolbar to appear on the same row, I removed
several buttons I wasn't using from the Outlook toolbar
and moved the AntiSpam toolbar up to the same row.

However, each time I brought Outlook back up again, I had
to manually move the AntiSpam toolbar up to the same row.
I was never able to figure out a way to save this change
I wanted so that every time I brought up Outlook both
toolbars appeared on the same row without me having to
move the AntiSpam toolbar up to the same row as the
Standard Outlook toolbar.

No, I have another problem. For several iterations of
this, the Outlook toolbar contained only the buttons I
wanted it to contain. However, today when I brought up
Outlook ALL of the buttons for the Standard toolbar
appeared. I removed the ones I did not want to appear,
but when I brought Outlook down and back up again, ALL of
the buttons were back.

I tried to look this up in Microsoft Outlook Help, but I
could not seem to figure out a way to get the Help to
display the way I am accustomed to seeing it display with
tabs for Search or Find, etc.


So, my questions are as follows:

1) How do I get Outlook to save changes I have made to
the Standard toolbar?
2) How do I get Outlook to preserve the look I want of
the Standard toolbar and the Anti-Spam toolbar on the
same row?
3) How do I get the traditional Help display in Outlook
to appear again?

Thanks.

You can't lock toolbar positions in Outlook.

FWIW you can't do that from the UI, but you can lock toolbar positions and
prevent any customizations by using code. Each CommandBar (toolbar/menu)
object has a .Protection property that can be set for various options like
that.
