How to Move Outlook App Bar to Bottom: Simple Registry Fix

To move the app bar (also known as the navigation bar or toolbar) to the bottom in Outlook using a .reg script, you can modify the Windows Registry.

Here’s how to move Outlook app bar to bottom by creating a .reg file:

1. Open a text editor like Notepad.
2. Copy and paste the following content into the text file:

3. Save the file with a .reg extension, for example “MoveOutlookAppBarToBottom.reg”.
4. Double-click the saved .reg file to merge it into the Windows Registry.
5. Restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.

This registry modification disables the new left-side app bar layout and reverts Outlook to the classic bottom toolbar layout.

Important Notes:

• The “16.0” in the registry path refers to Office 2016 and later versions. If you’re using an older version of Office, you may need to adjust this number.
• Always back up your registry before making changes.

If you need to revert the changes:

1. Create another .reg file with the following content:

2. Save and run this file to remove the registry entry.

Remember that Microsoft frequently updates Outlook, so this method may become obsolete in future versions. Always check for the latest official methods or settings within the application itself.
