VS 2008 'What the...?"
-
To clear the recent project list (File -> Recent Projects -> Clear Recent Project List) you are presented with a dialog with very, very non-standard dialog weird glow-and-expand buttons (after quiet a pause) then, after you've made your selections, you have to restart Visual Studio Just to clear items out of a MRU list. A full restart of the IDE. Huh??

Sounds like you've installed a thrid party tool the name of which escapes me at present and, amongst other things, adds loads of centext menu items and other wee goodies. I have a small vbs file which simply clears the appropriate registry settings. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.1\FileMRUList\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.1\ProjectMRUList\ Happy to send it to you: pretty trivial. Ooh, forgot: if you clear whilst VS is running they can get restored so do it prior to running VS. (Which is why the tool restarts VS).

I think it's the PowerCommands AddIn.

Chris - I am decently sure there's no such VS 2008 option. You may have an add-in (maybe Whole Tomato) installed that shows that dialog.
