Save Visual Studio window settings
-
Long time reader... Think first time poster... I manually adjust my window layout for visual studio, VC2008 & VC2010. I run 4 24" monitors and use all of them for debug, find results, output... however when i have someone remotely connects to my machine, they typically only have 1 monitor so i have to reset my window layout. then afterwards have to go back and move the windows back to where i like them... where are the window locations stored. I tried RegShot to track registry changes, however i get so much other changes I can't seem to find the window position changes, or they are not stored in the registry (unlikely) Anybody have any idea where this is stored? Thanks.

The registry is not a likely place to store anything anymore - it's a bloated PITA. Instead, there are AppData folders to store such info in. To find it, use Windows Explorer, and browse to your user name (C: -> Users -> YourName) then click on the address bar and add "\AppData" (so that the address reads "C:\Users\YourName\AppData") and press ENTER. (If you don't do this, you have to disable the "hide system files" option). You should get three folders: "Local", "LocalLow" and "Roaming". Probably, it is somewhere in "Roaming", but good luck - I think you will need it!
