Save Visual Studio 2008 Toolbox Settings

Question

Is there a way to save the Toolbox settings in VS2008? I've added a 3rd party set of DLLs to my current project and I don't want to have to load them each time I create a new sln/project.

Answer 1

Toolbox settings are stored into C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\toolbox.tbd

This should be shared across all your solutions.
