When you search, make sure to look in hidden files.

It turns out that the user was using a different profile so when I deleted the outcmd.dat file and then opened outlook, I was opening using a different file. &nbsp;<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I had a workstation on the network that Outlook was opening very slowly on. &nbsp;I deleted the users outcmd.dat file which usually solves the problem. &nbsp;It did solve the problem, however, I noticed that this time Outlook didn't recreate the outcmd.dat file in the user's profile.<br />
<br />
To further test this wierd behavior, I added a button to the standard toolbar thinking that this would force Outlook to recreate the outcmd.dat file. &nbsp;It didn't! &nbsp;What was even more bizzare was that when I opened up Outlook, my toolbar customization was there! &nbsp;So.... is Outlook is getting the customization from another source??<br />
<br />
Any help would be great in explaining this!<br />
