how to customize Default Toolbars in Excel for ALL Workbooks
Menu and Toolbar customizations are stored in your Excelx.xlb file
"x" is a version number like 9 for 2000, 10 for 2002 and 11 for 2003. If it gets too large, it can become unstable. Or perhaps if on a network, Excel is confused about where to store it. Do a search for this file. There could be more than one *.xlb file so may have to check all copies to see which is loading. Usually stored in.................. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel When found, first rename the *.XLB file to *.OLD file. Note the size of this file in kb. Now close out Excel then re-open. Make a few minor changes to a menu or toolbar then close Excel. Does Excel create a new *.XLB file? Is it basically the same size as the *.OLD file? Reopen Excel. Have your changes stuck?
