How do I completely reset my Visual Studio 2008 toolbar? Right now I have toolbars randomly appearing/disappering when I write code vs. debug. Is this expected behavior?
I'd like to get it to a point where the same set of toolbars appears and sticks to their same position in the toolbar area.

Go to VSCode settings ( CTRL+, or CMD+, ) and search for shortcut menu bar . Toggle buttons from there.
Reset settingsSelect Tools > Import and Export Settings from the menu bar to open the Import and Export Settings Wizard. In the Import and Export Settings Wizard, select Reset all settings, and then select Next. On the Save Current Settings page, select either Yes or No, and then select Next.
The Toolbox window displays controls that you can add to Visual Studio projects. To open Toolbox, choose View > Toolbox from the menu bar, or press Ctrl+Alt+X.
You can also run one of the following commands (if you can't get it to work in the command line in VS, run the regular command prompt in Windows. As Admin, if you're running Vista...):
"Mild" versions
devenv /resetskippkgs
devenv /resetsettings
"Hardcore" version
devenv /setup
This one takes some time to complete, so be patient... Also, note that it will reset all of the settings, not just the menus. But if you look in the documentation for the devenv command you'll probably find a flag that resets just the menu options.

On the Tools menu, choose Export and Import settings. That provides you with many options, including the option to reset settings.
Having said that, VS does keep a different toolbar set for debugging. So any changes you make, you have to make to both the debugging and the normal set.
