Restoring Visual Studio .NET 2003 config files

O

Olumide

Would someone please tell me where (which directory) Visual
studio .NET 2003 configuration files are stored and also what they
look like. Is it just one file or a directory? I'm trying to restore
my installation. I'm sure (or should I say hope) the config files are
somewhere on my system.

All I'd like to restore are my library, source, include paths.

Visual Studio Settings are stored in a .vssettings file that is usually
found in the User Documents folder for the user that is running Visual
Studio. The folder under "My Documents" is "Visual Studio\Settings"

Isn't this the VS2005 stuff?

Personally I some old installs of the Express stuff here

The OP was asking about VS2003 not VS2005

or did I miss something?

You're right. I'm asking about VS2003. Furthermore, I cant find
a .vssettings file in my User documents folder.

Hi Rory,

No, you didn't miss something; I did. My bad, I didn't see the reference to
VS 2003 in the original message. Although I have VS.Net 2003 installed on
this machine, I don't see where the settings are kept, and I no longer have
any documentation for it. I did check both the My Documents folder and the
Local Settings folder in the user account folder (under Documents and
Settings). I suspect that the settings may be in the System Registry, but
that's a guess.
