Close but our user had the old Office toolbar (separate from the main
toolbar). I can setup one from the links but will not allow a icon change or
the tool bar set to the right boarder of the screen
Thanks

Yo Carey!!

What is wrong with you! We're all looking for the answer to something
that's been very important to our daily computing use for years! Someone's
made a very bad decision to dump a key/critical feature and your response
says/does absolutely nothing to help!!

What is wrong with you!

Yes. I researched further, understood the changes and did
some development-resulting in a slightly better deployment
than the prior office bar. My beef was the attitudes of the
response like Carey's that did absolutely nothing to address
the concerns and comments of the prior writer.

Obviously, many of us in corporate environments have things
that occur without our knowing all the related impacts before-
hand. As in my case 2/10, our IT guys just fixed a profile
problem, decided to be "nice" and plowed foward with some
application version upgrades. I simply turned around this AM
to find I had to re-learn my PC again.

I suggest you review the "concerns and comments of the prior writer" as
I fail to make a connection between your posting and theirs. Carey
responded with a shotgun approach as the OP was not very clear as to
what was desired, but the information applied. You seemed to be going on
about Office 2003, so my reply was directed to you as it had nothing to
do with the original posting.

I must be missing something here because I fail to see the concerns
and comments are you referring to. Here's what I read:
| have the standard toolbar but wan the Office toolbar as was in
2000 before PC
| was re-imaged to XP

Given the vagueness of the question that was asked it is difficult to
ascertain what the poster is actually asking. Are they referring to
the Office Shortcut bar that was discontinued in Office 2003? Are they
saying they upgraded to Office XP? Or was it Windows XP and Office
2003? I fail to see this 'attitude' you are referring to.

The first article Carey covers the possibility of Office XP and the
second explains the OSB was discontinued and provides some alternate
suggestions. How can one provide additional answers when so little
information was initially provided???

Bear in mind Carey is not a Microsoft employee - those who answer
questions in the newsgroups do so voluntarily on their own time. No
one is getting paid to help out in the newsgroups. With that in mind,
perhaps you were expecting an answer along the lines of:
-----------------
Dear poster,

My name is <NameOfMSEmployee> it is a pleasure to help you. I'm very
sorry to hear you are having difficulty with one of our products and I
hope I can be of assistance to you.

In order to assist you I need more information. Please tell me the
version of Office you are using.

Have a good day!

Thank you

Have a great afternoon!

Just gotta love the boilerplate they use. <g>

Carey's response was just what I needed. I had someone that I had to
reinstall office 2000 for. I didn't think anything about it but when I did,
she lost her office toolbar. (personally I find it just gets in the way, but
hey, if it makes her happy, then so be it) I couldn't find the answer
anywhere until I saw Carey's link. I didn't need to do the whole
registry/delete/reinstall thing. I knew it was there, I just couldn't
remember how to do it. His answer was short, sweet and to the point. I just
find it amazing the things that people absolutely can't live without. I have
people with 6 ROWS of toolbars WITHIN a program. You can't see anything but
toolbars! Too lazy to go up to the drop down menus.
