      Hmmm.., in my VS .NET, UNDO button sits next to the PASTE button (on Standard toolbar). You can always move around toolbar buttons using "Tools-Customize-Toolbars" option. // Fazlul

                          I never use the VS toolbars at all, sometimes I wonder why I even bother having them displayed on the screen. If there is no keyboard way of doing something, it probably isn't worth doing ;-) Michael :-) Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana

                                  I use them all the time. But that is because I am left handed and most all keyboard shortcuts work better for right handled people. Maybe I should sue... :) Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

                                    Finally someone agrees with what I have believed all along! Personally I think they should get the change over and done with and move the close button across to the other side next to the icon. I *really* hate it when I overjudge the distance and close a window. :((

                                      The thing is, it's the perfect place for it. When a window is maximized, you can hit that button every time with just a flick of the mouse, no need to judge distance *at all*. What they should have done was move the *other* two buttons over to the left side. But i guess that wouldn't have looked enough like Win3.1...
