    Hi all! A week ago I executed "devenv /ResetUserData" at the command prompt to repair the Build node in Team Explorer. My build node now works but unfortunaly it had some unwanted side effects: In my Visual Studio (2008) I like to keep some windows, like the build Error list and Find symbol result in a smaller panel in the lower left part of the main Visual Studio window, below the bigger code file window. Now for some reason when I start Visual Studio the "Start page" opens in the small panel, no matter if I move it to the bigger upper panel, save all, close down Visual Studio and starts it again - Start page is again in the lower panel. And if I doubble click a file in the find symbol window the file opens in the same panel as the result window (i.e. the lower panel). I can't find where to configure my Visual Studio to make the bigger upper panel the "first" panel to open new windows in. Can anyone help? Naturally if I only have one panel in the left part it all works but then I can't see the error list and the code file at the same time... Thanks EnkelIk

      Right click on the header for your docked start page and select 'Tabbed document'.

      There are only 10 types of people in this world — those who understand binary, and those who don't.

        Ah! You set me on the right track - turns out all the windows were "Tabbed document", setting Find, Output e.t.c. to dockable instead solves my problem. Thanks!
