Visual Studio 2010 addin: perspectives

http://perspectives.codeplex.com/[^] What does it do: Saves and restores your window layouts Why do I like it: Because I hate the faffing about trying to get my windows back where they belong when I accidentally drag them out of position. It's nice to be able to put your toolbox, properties pane, solution + server explorer, error list, output window and all the others in specific places, but it can be a pain to remember the order in which you have to move them in order to get the "ideal" layout for you. And when I have got it, then accidentally drag and drop the properties pane into the editing window I have to move loads of stuff before I get it back. Perspectives allows you to save and load your window settings when you want - so you can have one setting for your laptop as a mobile unit, and another when it is docked to your quad monitor setup. And it'll let you do it with a toolbar button. Yes, yes, I know you can do it via the "Import and Export Settings Wizard" on the Tools menu, then unchecking everything except the "Window Layouts" under the "General" settings list, but I can never remember that lot!
