Hi,

My mail goal is to make sure that each and every outlook window must have
one and one add-in toolbar. The temporary type add-in toolbar works fine but
has below limitations:

1. If you hide or reposition the tool bar, it changes to default again
when you restart the outlook.
2. Possibility of missing or duplicat toolbar from/on outlook window. See
below example where toolbar can be missed.
-- Just open Outlook, you have "My button".
-- Then open Calender in new windows. Everything works fine.
-- Now close Outlook window first and then calender window.
-- Again open Outlook. It will open two windows Outlook and
Calender and you will have two toolbars on Outlook window and no toolbar on
calender window.

I tried with permanent type add-in toolbar also but facing other issues. see

Could any one please help me to sort out this issues.

Thanks.
