Keeping the toolbars that I want

Question

There is some info on the other thread that I dont want to repeat, so this is the link:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/307040?tstart=30
but briefly
I have unchecked this setting for years but I am weekly  bothered by
Acrobat 8 changing the  toolbar selection against my wishes.
Is  this my fate to suffer every few days when acrobat randomly with a
mind  of its own changes the settings ?
My  fingers hurt from typing unnecessary keys in the keyboard. Can any
responsible  soul from adobe get a patch to solve this problem or a one click
javascript  ? If I fix the problem in one instance of acrobat, ie the annotation
bar  specifically, underline, multipe clones of it appear on other windows  and
finally the program crashed or  the screen starts flickering.

Dimitri,
I have unchecked this setting for years but I am weekly bothered by
Acrobat 8 changing the toolbar selection against my wishes.
Is this my fate to suffer every few days when acrobat randomly with a
mind of its own changes the settings ?
My fingers hurt from typing unnecessary keys in the keyboard. Can any
responsible soul from adobe get a patch to solve this problem or a one click
javascript ? If I fix the problem in one instance of acrobat, ie the annotation
bar specifically, underline, multipe clones of it appear on other windows and
finally the program crashed or the screen starts flickering.
