Make intellisense less smart...

There is an annoying feature, at least for me, in VB .NET. This may be just
IDE feature, but I'm quite annoyed by the way intellisense behaves. I don't
want the intellisense to remember what I use frequently. When I press
backspace to go back to the previous line, I list the members of the object
and defaults it to the one I frequently use. And when I hit enter,
Intellisense puts the frequently used memeber instead of the one I
entered... This is pretty annoying when I'm dealing with many members in
code. Is there a way to turn that smart feature off? Don't get me wrong, I
love intellisense (I mean I need), but just a little bit too smart.

I noticed this behavior, too. Example: I type "Debug.Writeline", next time I
only type "Debug.Write", but it has automatically selected "WriteLine" after
pressing space or "("

The only way to turn it off is to downgrade to VB 200*2*, I think. ;-( It
behaved the way you (and I) want.
 
Too bad we can't turn that annoyance off. Let's see if Microsoft VB .NET
team will be able to do something about. :)
