I opened up Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS) the other day. Since then my visual studio toolbars and panes have been all screwed up. Commands are missing, panes never stay where I want them, etc.

Whenever I install VS, I usually select the Web Developer settings when the first time dialog comes up. I'm pretty happy with the layout it gives you with that. How can I set that again?

I'm using vs2008 sp1.

In VS2008, go into Tools > Import and Export Settings and choose Reset all settings. You will get the option of doing Web Developer settings the next time you start VS2008.

This is not an answer but a follow-up question: Is it possible to have multiple VS settings profiles, to accommodate different development projects?

You would want to export the desired settings you would want to use. So if you wanted C# developer you would follow the above steps, but instead of resetting you would Export Current Settings and then every time you would want to use those settings, just import them back.**Tools/Import and Export Settings** - Export selected environment settings**Tools/Import and Export Settings** - Import selected environment settings
