How do I disable zoom on control-scroll in Visual Studio 2010?

Visual Studio 2010 adds a zoom setting on the bottom left of the text editor (to the left of the horizontal scroll bar) and also adopts the control + mouse scroll idiom for zooming in and out.

The former is fine, but I dislike the latter as I am occasionally still holding control when I start scrolling my source code (which results in the text size radically changing and completely throwing me off whatever I was doing).

How do I disable it?

+4 A:

Go to Tools->Extension manager, and search the online gallery for "wheel". Likely the first result.

Selected this as the answer because it was the method I ended up using to install the extension.

If it ever isn't the first link, the name is "Disable Mouse Wheel Zoom", and [here is a direct link](http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/d088791c-150a-4834-8f28-462696a82bb8).

Wonderfully useful extension. I kept accidentally zooming in to my source code and it was getting very annoying!

I don't believe there is a way to do this the editor through the exposed options. However Noah Richards, a visual studio platform developer, wrote a Visual Studio extension that disables the mouse scroll zooming.
