Save TEMPLATE Configuration

Have been using Rhino off and on for a couple of years however I’ve never really grasped how to save my settings (i.e. toolbar config, etc). Case in point while I’ve been taking Level 2 Rhino Training (offline) I’ve been gradually re-configuring my UI.
Upon each series of changes I do a SAVE TEMPLATE hoping the settings stick. Here’s the toolbar template config I’ve been saving…

.
Yes I know this is maybe minor yet it’s annoying because everytime I open a new file from the saved template I instead get this config…same thing but toolbars are in reverse order…least used to most used.

Any suggestions as to what I’m doing incorrectly i.e. maybe it’s not a ‘template thing’? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
