After installing ON 2007 RTM, it regularly forgets any changes I make to the
toolbars. I've reproduced this problem on 3 separate machines.
For example,
- move the default toolbars, exit ON, reopen => toolbars reset to default
position
- add a command to one of the defaults toolbars, exit ON, reopen =>
customized toolbar missing new command
- create a custom toolbar, add a command to it, exit ON, reopen => custom
toolbar is gone
This seems to happen 90+% of the time. Occasionally, ON will remember the
changes, but then on a later restart the toolbars will be reverted to default.
I've checked that my toolbars.dat is not read-only. I've also tried
removing it and letting OneNote recreate it to no avail. FWIW, the
toolbars.dat file is touched every time I exit, so I know that it is writing
something. And I've tried exiting via the X in the top right, via Alt-F4,
and Via File->Exit. That makes no difference either.
As I mentioned above, I've reproduced this on three separate Windows XP
boxes. Two of have the Application Data dir under non-default locations,
but one of them has it at C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data.
So the problem isn't that it's writing to the proper profile dir, but reading
from the default profile dir.
Anyone else seeing this?

One more observation I just made. When I select View->Toolbars->Customize
and the Customize dialog pops up, the toolbars jump to the locations I
changed them to, but when this dialog closes, the toolbars all get crammed
back onto a single row.

This is a good bug. Can you report this on
http://connect.microsoft.com/onenote ?
Then it will make it into our bug database. Thanks!

Alex,
Here is is:

I tried to post the issue yesterday but couldn't figure out how to Apply to
the OneNote 2007 RTM. So I just applied to OneNote 2007 B2TR and submitted
it there.
Have you heard of this happening from anyone else? I've asked friends to
try and reproduce the problem and they, so far, have not seen it.
In fact, since yesterday, midday, I made some changes and OneNote's been
remembering them. I hate these spurious problems. I have to imagine it's
some sort of exception in parsing the toolbars.dat that's bailing on the
whole restore process and resetting all toolbar settings.
