Managing User Settings

When you run Visual Studio for the first time, you are asked to specify a setting set that best suits your needs. Then you can customize Visual Studio settings and options to make the IDE the best environment for you. Starting from Visual Studio 2005 the IDE provides the ability of exporting settings to disk into a .VsSettings file as a backup for later reuse, meaning that you have also the ability of importing existing settings into the environment. This section explains how you manage Visual Studio settings.
