Does VS.NET 2003 lock up when you pin the toolbox?

At some point the IDE would lock up whenver I pinned the toolbox open.

I “fixed” it by deleting the file toolbox.tbd found in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\

But a cow-orker of mine had the same problem, and deleting that file didn't work.  So--best of luck if you are having this problem.  If you know of an official fix for this, please let me know.

This behavior actually comes from a bug in the framework 1.1 SP1. It's actually a problem when the server explorer is docked behind the toolbox and you try to pin open the toolbox.

I solved the problem by pinning and then un-pinning the server explorer, which then allowed me to pin and un-pin the toolbox without any problems. Another solution is to pin the server explorer somewhere else in the IDE - just not behind the toolbox, where it is by default.

I hope one of these solutions fixes the problem for you!
