Turn off Tag Navigator in VS2008

Question

Hi, I've looked everywhere on how to turn off the Tag Navigator at the bottom of my Visual Studio 2008 and can't any info!

Since installing ReSharper a group of us have come across a bug where it will reset your mouse cursor to 0,0 when you rollover a tag in the Tag Navigator and since I can't find any info on that bug I just want the Navigator to go away, but can't seem to even turn THAT off...

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction!

Answer 1

This isn't so much an answer but a warning of a false answer. I have this exact same problem and I was sent this link. After trying it out Visual Studio crashed and after it had recovered the tag bar was still there.

Answer 2

This should help to eliminate the mouse cursor reset issue in the Tag Navigator:

Open regedit and find the following key:

\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\HTML Editor

Modify the following entry:

ShowTagToolbar = -1

Then restart Visual Studio.
