Hi,

I would like to now how to get the IDE back to the way it looked when I
installed VS.Net (without reinstalling). After dragging one too many
windows to the wrong place, I can't seem to get it to look the way it
did.

thanks,
Keith
 
Look in your VS.NET application data folder:

On my XP machine:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1

You should see a file named devenv.xml. Delete that file (make a backup
of it, if you care). The next time you start Visual Studio, it will
create a new devenv.xml and your windows will be back to their default
settings.
