Playing with Visual Studio customization

How many times it happened to you that by mistake you've changed your Visual Studio IDE and you didn't know how to reset it back?

And the main problem after was that spending precious time on Google, searching for a solution!

Well, here comes one of the best practices advice on avoiding this bad scenario.

Under Tools menu you have an option "Import and Export settings"
It will take you to next screen:

1.


You should always make a backup of your current settings, just that in case of a trouble, you can always restore your favorite settings back!

2.


3.


Another great thing is that if you haven't already made a back up, you can always use visual studio predefined [default] settings, and build your new one, begging from the good starting point!

4.


Visual studio is one the most customizable IDE's. The only thing is: it requires some research and try out. And once you configure it, it works so smooth that you gonna enjoy it!

Good luck customizing!
