Default is it possible to "lock" toolbars in place?

Every time I start outlook, the toolbars are in "default" positions and take
up 4 rows. I move them where I want them , and taking up only 2 rows.
Is there a way to "save" the layout and positions so that next time I close
and restart outlook the toolbars are where i want them?

Remembering the toolbar position is up to the add-in that added them in the
first place. Quite a bit of add-ins ignore this though. To lock them into
place you could use a 3rd party tool called FixMyBars;

If the vendors of the add-in, which add those toolbars, say that their
add-in do remember their toolbar position, then reset the the toolbars by
renaming outcmd.dat to .old.
