When I'm working in VS.Net 2010, then start debugging, seems like a new window profile or something like that kicks in and rearranges/hides windows that I had open previously. Is there any way to disable this "feature"?

+4  A: 

No this cannot be disabled.

What you can do to work around it a bit though is the following

  1. Start a debugging session
  2. Arrange the windows to your liking
  3. Stop the debugging session
  4. Close Visual Studio

After this point whenever you start a debugging session it will return to the window arrangument you had at step #2.

JaredPar is correct.

There are four distinct window modes in Visual Studio. See this post for more info: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2010/11/22/window-layouts-design-debug-and-full-screen-vstipenv0052.aspx
