ie6 toolbar won't stay locked
For some reason my IE6 toolbars won't stay locked. I'll have the toolbars where I want them, I'll go into View \ Toolbars and check the "Lock the Toolbars" option but quite often I'll go back in and they will have changed even though the "Lock the Toolbars" option is still checked. Any ideas?

Ahhh.... simplicity. The Ctrl-Click-Red-X seems to have worked just fine. I did go ahead and download the windowsxp.mvps.org info just in case but just for your information the anetforums link wouldn't come up in my browser. Thanks for the help.
Your welcome. Thanks for the grade. Glad it's working for you now.
It coud be due to corruption in IE files.
1. Disable third party extensions. With IE open, go to Tools > Options > Advanced. Uncheck "Third party extensions". Click Ok. Reboot computer.
2. Reset IE settings. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Programs. Click on "Reset Web Settings" button. Go to Advanced tab and click "Restore Defaults" button. Go to Security tab and move the bar to Medium or Default. Click OK. Close all browsers. Reboot the computer.
3. Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, anti-spyware, ad-blocker, win doctor, and recycle bin protect. Disable any firewall or ad-blocker.
4. Repair or reinstall Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP
