Scott Guthrie on
tweaking the new VS2005 profile support:
"One of the new features in VS 2005 is the support for "profiles" in the IDE. Profiles provide the ability to define pre-set defaults for options, menus, key-bindings, and command-bars across the tool-set. VS 2005 ships with several built-in profiles out of the box including: VB, C#, C++, Web, Test, and a General Development Settings similar to 2003. When VS launches the very first time it prompts a user to pick which of these profiles to use by default (note that you can build all app types and even use all languages regardless of which profile you pick).
If you ever want to change or reset your profile, you can select the Tools->Import and Export Settings menu option. It will then walk-you through a wizard where you can export or import settings to/from others (these are saved as XML files that you can ship around to work colleagues or friends). If you select the "reset all settings" radio button in this dialog, it will let you nuke and re-pick your default profile from scratch (for example: to re-pick the C#, VB or Web one by default)."
I look forward to getting my hands dirty - I am impatiently awaiting the final MSDN release of VS2005. I have Beta 2 installed on a slow test-PC, which is far from a pleasant working experience (sloooooooow), and with (hopefully) only a few days until final release, I have to try resisting the temptation of installing the RC - in order to avoid installation issues caused by "intertwining" versions. Must... resist... temptation... ;-)
