How to Restore Default Window Layout in VS.NET 2005

How can I find the "My Profile" tab on the Start page. I have the "Recent
Projects", "Getting Started" and "Visual Studio Headlines" in panes on the
left hand side and "MSDN: Visual C++" on the right. The picture in
"Introducti on to Visual Studio .NET" shows a different Start Page tab with a
link "My Profile" highlighted on the left hand side.

What I really want to do is restore the default window layout of Visual
Studio .NET 2005. I've lost the toolbox used in populating controls in a
dialog. It seems that I can do this through the "My Profile" page if I
could find it!

Have you tried Window -Reset Window Layout?
Failing that, you might try:
Tools -Import and Export Settings...
Select Reset All Settings.

That worked for my main problem. Thanks for the information. Still no sign
of "My Profile" however on the Start tab :(

I don't have "My Profile" in VS2005, so I don't know what you're
talking about.

In reference to your problem, do you mean that in the Toolbox
for adding controls to a form, under <Dialogs>, you have no tools?
It's not compressed, it is? (I.E. is there a + next to Dialogs?)

At the following link:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.vAug06. en/dndotnet/html/introvisstunet. htm,
there is a screen shot of a Start Page labelled "My Profile". One of the
comboboxes is labelled "Window Layout" and there show tantalizing is "Visual
Studio Default." I presume that this refers to .NET 2005 since it is from
the MSDN August 2006 disc.

I've actually solved the problem of resetting my default window layout
following pvdg42's excellent suggestions. I just thought that since the My
Profile screen is given some prominence in the help, it should be easy to
find :)

I undocked one of my windows and all hell broke loose! The more I tried to restore the original IDE layout (left pane of Server Explorer, Toolbox Start Page above and Output below; right pane of Solution Explorer above and Dynamic Help below) the worse I made it.

The only reason I ask is that no one has made this subject clear or given a definitive answer. What I would like to do is, after turning off all the menus/tbars/etc using the startup options. Upon restarting Access, when an admin is detected (I use a GetSystemUser() function) I want to restore everything so that Access behaves like normal, ie. all menus/tbars/etc show up (only where they are supposed to show up).

Hi, After just installing sql 2005 on our test machine, I am trying to restore a database using a backup file on the network. However, the specify backup diagol box allows only for browsing to a file on the local machine - I find no way to type a UNC path to choose the backup file from. I can do this in 2000, is it no longer an option to doit through the GUI or am I missing something?

I recently installed Visual Studio 2003, after having already installed VS 2005. Unfortunately, it took over all of the file associations. There is an option in Visual Studio 2005 to restore these associations, under Tools > Options Environment General. However, this button doesn't seem to do anything. Specifically, my SLN files were associated to VS 2003, and when I clicked this, this association didn't change. I even tried deleting...

I downloaded Stephan's utility from his website but can't get it to work - or maybe I'm not driving it properly! The form works OK with the existing 3 "views" - I can switch between them and they display changes fine. But if I add or remove a table from any one of them, strange things happen. For example: start with a fresh copy of the downloaded database. Open the form and click on the "Admin" view. Right click and click on "Show Table"...
