f8 Shortcut Gone From Debug Toolbar

I've lost my F8 shortcut on my Debug tool bar? I have no idea how or how to
reset it. I evern did a repair install off of my dvd and still it didn't
come back? I can go into the keyboard short cuts and If I try to assign F8
to anthing it shows up as being assigned to Edit.GoToNextLocation which I
think is right. Yet on my Debug toolbar I only see an option for Step Over
(F10).

Has anyone seen this or have any ideas?

Thanks,

I noticed some differences in my home and work PC, mainly the F6 build
option was missing, after much digging around I found the "Tools" "Import /
Export Settings" menu option. This allows you to back up / move your IDE
settings between machines and also allows you to reset the IDE back to one
of the many default settings.

I'd recommend:
1) Backing up your current settings
2) Restoring your IDE back to one of the defaults
3) Selectively import your settings backed up in 1) above. You may find you
reimport the setting that loses your F8 assignment, but at least you know
then which setting you shouldn't import.

I had to do this again the other day when I managed somehow to lose my
find/replace dialog box ( I think I'd docked it somewhere but couldn't find
it anywhere!)

Hope this helps,

- Paul.
