    Question Is it possible to lock the position of toolbars

    Is it possible to lock toolbars without loading addition 3rd party software?

    Nope, although users having been asking for this
    type of functionality for over a decade, AutoDesk
    has yet to provide it.

    Since toolbar locations are stored in profiles, why not make a backup profile to restore your preferred toolbar settings?

    Now its realized in AutoCAD 2007, but i still prefer AutoCAD 2005 due to some reasons. And still I want to lock those toolbars in 2005. I suspect its possible in VBA programming via windows API call. I'm gonna try posting in VBA forums. I'll hit you guys back when I found one.

    can you not just right click on the toolbar and lock it that way, as in the attachment? (im using adt 2006 - if that effects things) i always leave mine locked because i tend to click as i drag my mouse, and end up with toolbars shifting in ways i dont like.

    Locking was added in the 2006 version. As the OP wants this in 2005, he would need to use a third party program to accomplish this.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.
