Saving Custom Toolbars in Excel 2003
I want to be able to set my Custom Toolbars to my personal favorite settings
and then have Excel save those customized settings forever. Now, whenever I close and re-open Excel 2003 it always reverts back to the default factory settings, and I must spend 5 minutes re-setting them every time!!! It is incredibly frustrating. MIKE MEDLIN MIKEMEDLIN (remove |

See answer in excel.misc. Please refrqain from multi-posting. All the regulars monitor all the excel news groups. Multi-posting tends to fragment answers and can be a waste of time when answers are duplicated. If you MUST post to more than one group, please cross-post, not multi-post.

Toolbar settings are saved in a file with the extension .xlb.
close excel Use windows start button|Search to find all those *.xlb files. Make sure to look for hidden files and through hidden folders. Delete them all (or rename them to *.xlbOLD). Then reopen excel and modify a toolbar (just a few to test) close excel and reopen it to test it out. If it worked ok, delete all those *.xlbOLD files. (I'm guessing you've upgraded through various versions and a couple of *.xlb files are fighting it out!) By deleting all the old ones, the "real" one can win. When you're done making all your real changes, find that file and store a copy of it somewhere safe--if you need to recreate the toolbar, you can just delete the *.xlb file and copy the backup into its proper home. donny808 wrote: MIKE MEDLIN wrote: *I want to be able to set my Custom Toolbars to my personal favorite settings and then have Excel save those customized settings forever.
