Hi Greg
You can "AllowMoving" "allowCustomising" "allowShow/Hide" and other things when you create the toolbars.
Those properties stay with the toolbar and thus the app (of course) when you move your app from machine to machine. 

Click View|Toolbars|Customise.  Select the first Tab then the relevant toolbar from the list then
click on the properties button to the right Set what you want don't want from there

Hope this helps

Darren
