Hey,

I have a project that produces a signed assembly. In the past it worked without a flaw. Now my windows user account has been deleted a new one (with the same name) was created. When I try to open the project, VS 2008 asks me again for the password for the keyfile. After entering the correct PW, VS tells me the error "Object already exists" and I cannot compile the project any longer. I have checked the Microsoft/Crypto/RSA/MachineKeys folder, and I didn't have permissions for that one, so I added myself (User group) to have full access. Still it doesn't work. I'm using Windows XP, so the VS itself should also have admin rights as it's run under my account, which also belongs to the Administrator group. Is it possible that there are still some artefacts from the previous that are mixed up with the current one? I didn't re-install VS. Where does VS save the passwords once they've been entered? Is there a way to reset this all by re-installing VS? Thanks!
