Tab groups in VB2003 debugging

[cj]

At work when running in debug I have two groups of tabs at the bottom of
my screen. group 1 contains (Autos, Locals, and Watch1) group 2
contains (Threads, Command Window, Output, Task List) I usually have
Autos and Command Windows "pinned" open. they open side by side at the
bottom of the screen. The code is displayed above.

Now I'm home and here I can't seem to get two groups and when I do I
can't get an item from each group to come up side by side at the bottom
of the screen. How do I manage what tabs are in which group and make
them come up side by side? I've spent hours trying to see Autos and
Command Window side by side at the bottom of my screen with no luck.

I would also like to know why at work the names of the tabs show as well
as the icons and at home only the icons show.

Hi Cj,

What you see in VS IDE at work is the default Window layout style.

You may reset the default Window layout in the VS IDE at home. To do this,
go to the Tools menu and select Options. In the Options window, click the
Environment node and then General. At the right panel, click the Reset
Windows Layout button.

Hope this helps.

If my suggestion doesn't work or you have anything unclear, please feel
free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu
