How to configure the Visual Studio 2005 development environment to closely match the Visual Studio .NET 2003 development environment (922325)

MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 and Visual Studio .NET 2003, you can select a profile and keyboard scheme from the start page to match a configuration in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. To do this, you click My Profile on the start page, and then select a profile or a keyboard scheme.

In Visual Studio 2005, you cannot specify a configuration to match a Visual Studio 6.0 configuration. However, you can configure the Visual Studio 2005 development environment to closely match the Visual Studio .NET 2003 development environment. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click Import and Export Settings.
2. Select Reset all settings, and then click Next.
3. If you want to save your current settings, select Yes, save my current settings in the Save Current Settings dialog box, specify a file name and a directory, and then click Next. If you do not want to save your current settings, select No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings, and then click Next.
4. Select General Development Settings, and then click Finish.
   
   Note By selecting General Development Settings, you configure the environment to closely match the Visual Studio .NET 2003 environment.
