Toolbar/keyboard customizations reset every night!

[Samantha]

Help! On my PC at work, running XP and Office 2003, I've tried to customize
some of the toolbars (mostly in Word and Excel) and keyboard shortcuts (for
example, Ctrl-Q = Paste Special). The changes only "stick" until I restart
the machine. Our tech guy swears that ALL Windows machines do this, but it's
never happend to me on any other one. I can't seem to find a setting that
would make that happen. Any clue how to keep the changes set?

Thanks...

Does your company use GPOs to set computer policies?

I don't know. What is a GPO?

GPO = Group Policy Objects. It will reset any customizations you make
during a session to the company default on shutdown and restart.
