Losing my window positions

I keep a certain set of windows open in Visual Studio 2005 (Solution
Explorer, Output, Breakpoints, Call Stack, Threads, etc.), and I have
them arranged as I like.

Sometimes, for reasons unknown, I'll open the IDE, and the way I've
configured all my windows has changed. Usually, Output is gone,
Server Explorer and Toolbox is docked and auto-hidden on the left,
etc. This is not how it was configured when last I opened the IDE.

Once, I began debugging, and all my twenty or so windows appeared,
plus a dozen or so I've never used, all undocked. This is intensely
frustrating.

Can anyone help me understand why this happens, or how I can make a
backup of my preferred configuration?

dvestal,

Visual Studio keeps track of window layouts seperately for Debug mode, and
regular (non-debug mode). It also can keep track of toolbars depending on
what type of file is active. You may have set up the windows in debug mode,
and then not seen them in regular mode.

Hope this helps,
