VS 2008 - Reset "Settings"

10:34 AM
If you ever have a need to reset your Visual Studio settings for whatever reason, such as you chose the wrong "develpment type" upon installation, you need to resolve a keyboard-hang-up issue, etc., just do the following:

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Go to My Documents > Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 > Settings
  3. Rename or delete the .vssettings file (ex: CurrentSettings.vssettings)
  4. Close Windows Explorer.
  5. Open Visual Studio 2008.
  6. Go to the menu Tools and click on Import and Export Settings.
  7. Select the option to "Reset all Settings".
  8. Click NEXT.
  9. Select "NO, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings."
  10. Click NEXT.
  11. Choose your Default Collection of Settings. I generally choose "General Development Settings" since I develop in C#, VB.NET, Business Intelligence Studio, and Web development.
  12. Click FINISH. It will take up to a minute or two.
  13. Click CLOSE.
  14. Close and restart Visual Studio to pick up the settings.
