Reset Visual Studio

In Visual Studio you might experience a red cross in the documents or reports folder, while other users don't have the issue.

 

When this occurs you can resolve the issue by resetting Visual Studio. Be aware that when you start the reset all user settings are reset too. To work around this, you can first export your settings, reset Visual Studio and then import your settings again. You can find the Import and Export settings under the Tools menu.

 

To reset Visual Studio, open the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt and type:

 

devenv.exe /resetuserdata
