>>I'm pretty sure those settings are global and just part of the VS environment, but if you have other instances of VS open when you make the change, I wouldn't be surprised if when you closed them all the next time you open VS it will have the settings of the last VS you closed. Just to be sure I opened a single instance of VS, make the change and then save it and close that instance. After that it will be easy to tell if it is changed in everything you open, but I think it will ( I believe there is a (Global) by the setting )

>This one is tricky. The only way I could have it to work is to close all instances but one before making the changes. If I have five instances loaded and apply the change to one, the other ones will simply reset the environment, affected by the order of closing sequence. So, to be safe, I had to close everything, load up one only, apply the change and close it. Then, I was able to load all projects and have it ok.

What you are describing is exactly how it works. The last one saved will determine the settings. So you have to close all but one, then make the change and close that. After you do that, the setting will be there every time you open VS.
Glad you have it working now.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
