We have multi-user Enterprise 21 and thanks for pointing out the qbw.ini changes all the time.

On our PC that acts as a "QB Server", we did the edits in notepad as suggested and it got rid of the icon bar...for a while then it returned.

So we copied a "good" version of the qbw.ini file and named it qbw - no icon bar version.ini.

When QB screws up the qbw.ini instead of having to open and edit in wordpad, we just copy the good version and overwrite the messed up one.

No ideal, but avoids having multiple people manually editing the qbw.ini file and risk messing up an important config variable.

Near as we can tell, one qbw.ini is all there is - so if opening different company files or secondary one, they all use the same ini configuration? Did not see any ini files in the folders we store each company file in.
