I still plan to cover the more interesting categories in the Import / Export settings feature, but after a week of it, i wanted to break it up and talk about something new.

Because Visual Studio no longer uses its factory defaults, you have to choose a development environment settings file to get started.  The dialog is called, creatively, the “First Launch dialog,” since it appears the first time Visual Studio is launched.

    It is great to have such option but how I can reset to different one after the 1st launch.  My problem is that I have VS2005 and now my VS2008 is using VS2005 settings.  I don't want to use VS2005 settings in my VS2008.  How to resolve this?  Thanks for any help.
