Quan To's Visual Studio 2005 Setup blog

Seems to be quite a few IDE issues with new VS 2005. Here's a fix for one (or more) of them.

Can't move cursor in VS 2005 text editor

A customer ran into this issue where they can't move the cursor in the text editor and other things didn't work such as control-Z and import/export settings.

The workaround is:

* Shutdown Visual Studio
* Click Start -> Run
* Type in "devenv.exe /resetuserdata"
* Open Task Manager and wait for devenv.exe to finish running
* Restart VS

Thanks goes to James Lau for providing the workaround for this.
