Toolbars 2003

[john]

My friend has outlook 2003
Some of his toolbars are missing I tried everything dragging them around
etc.
the file toolbar, view, tools are not there therefore I cant change an
account
I tried doing a repair, re-install
I think it must be a setting in the registry?
is there a way to set everything back to default?

Close Outlook. Find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. (If using Windows 2000
or XP, you will need to enable searching hidden and system folders.)

Once you have done so, reopen Outlook and it should open fine. You will
need to rebuild any custom toolbars or customizations as the file outcmd.dat
controls how the toolbars display. When it becomes corrupted, it will cause
Outlook to hang because it cannot create the toolbars that you expect.
