Just want to be sure about 2005

Application.EnableVisualStyles()

'There is bug in the implementation of EnableVisualStyles that interferes
with Images stored in an ImageList component and Window Common Controls,

Application.DoEvents() 'Work around

I saw an option that makes me think the above is no longer necessary - is
that correct??

Same for allowing only one instance of an app - following code no longer
required - is that correct??

If
Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(Diagnostics .Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName).GetLength( 0)

IIRC the problem has been fixed.

ACK. You can enable visual styles and single-instance behavior in "My
Project".

Although personally I find it rather irritating that you can't get the
project to launch from a Sub Main when using that, you're forced to provide
a startup form. Which for my project doesn't really work.

I tried using the old VS2003 method, and it worked on all the controls
except for ComboBoxes, which still had the non-visual-styles appearance and
looked particularly out-of-place. Is there a way to work around this?
