In Microsoft® PowerPoint®, custom command bars are stored only in the application workspace in a file named PPT.pcb. If user profiles have been set up for multiple users, the PPT.pcb file is stored in the C:\Windows\Profiles\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\PowerPoint subfolder. If user profiles have not been set up, the PPT.pcb file is stored in the C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\PowerPoint subfolder.

Note   Command bars are not visible while a PowerPoint presentation is running. Therefore, changes you make to PowerPoint command bars are limited to those that are available in the design-time environment.
