From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Friday, 9 December 2011 3:25 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: VS2008 - stuffed up layout of my windows This is a Friday off-topic cry for help, about Visual Studio layout configuration. I have been putting up with this for 2 weeks because I don't know how to fix it. Somehow, I managed to make my Solution Explorer and Properties windows in VS2008 a bit weird. While code editing, they are nicely docked on the right side, one above the other, and the Code window and Output (etc) windows are one above the other and taking up about 80% of the total width. But when running the debugger, the solution/properties window (one only) is floating (the other VS UI windows take up the maximum width), and this single floating window for solution explorer / properties has tab options at the bottom (if that makes sense, without pasting images here). Is there an easy way to get some sort of default layout, which I can then (carefully) rearrange to my liking? I should say that I also run VS2010 and don't have any problems. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
