My toolbars keep moving around. :(

Jay-Jay_4

I have various toolbars (Yahoo and Google as well as the usual Windows one) set up so that they take up the minimum amount of space. I unlocked the toolbars, rearranged them and relocked the tool bar BUT they keep putting themselves back in the wrong places. :mad:



Right now they're in the right place in this window but if I open another window they may or may not be in the right place


Sometimes they vanish completely and I have to go and tick them in the View menu.


I'm getting annoyed with it now :cool: Any ideas?

Just run Ccleaner and they've all boogered off again :mad:

Someone somewhere must know how I can lock my toolbar and keep it locked anyone?.... pleeeeeease???

Try resetting the toolbar registry settings using this download ---> http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_toolbarfix.htm.

Thanks Chippy

I've got all of the toolbars available, they just lose their places :undecided

I understand that. The download resets toolbar settings and should allow you to place them where you want and lock them in position. Try it

Try:

Open only one Explorer window,
move the toolbars where you want them,
lock them and close the window

see if that helps

Another possibility is spyware :eek: or the remanants of old spyware - They often mess around with positions to make sure their toolbar is where they want it to be.

Juust a thought but why do you need yahoo and google toolbar?

Most people I know never actually use them anyway they either turn them off or uninstall them

I use the Yahoo one as I get a little icon telling me that I have emails, I use it all the time. I use the Google one for autofill and the clicky search icons
