i'm having a problem.

When I open excel, the toolbar looks a certain way. Okay, I make
changes to the appearance of the toolbar, and close excel. Problem is
next time I open excel, the toolbar is back to the way it was
originally. In fact, the date of the file says modified today, but
created 10/6/2005. I know the settings are supposed to be saved in a
file called excel11.xlb (I am on excel 2003, sp3), and that file
appears where it's supposed to. Because when I open excel and close
it again, it changes the date/time on this file.

But it never saves the actual toolbar settings the way I have them. I
have a toolbar from another application which is added in. I even
delete that toolbar, but the minute I reopen excel, it's
baaacckkkk...Kind of like "they're back..."

Anyone have any suggestions to what I can do? Is this related to some
security patch of microsoft that they now open a "default" tool-bar
every time rather than how I last saved it?

thanks,
