Visual Studio: any one click switch between tabs and spaces indentation?

Question

I'm member of several different teams and (of course ;) some teams prefers tabs over spaces and vice versa.

Is there any more user friendly solution then loading user profile via menu->Tools... which is 10 clicks long?

I looked at devenv.exe command line parameters if there is any for loading particular user profile to have two separate *.lnk launchers of Visual Studio, but there isn't such parameter.

Then I tried to record macro, but VS is able to record only the Tools.ImportandExportSettings command and cannot record all the steps of the following wizard.

Thx for suggestions, Petr

There is a macro in this blog entry by James Alexander to quickly toggle between tabs and spaces within Visual Studio. Then just add a toolbar command that maps to the macro and you have your one click solution.

Public Sub ToggleTabs()
  If DTE.ActiveDocument.Language = "CSharp" Then
      Dim currentSetting As Boolean = DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "CSharp").Item("InsertTabs").Value
      DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "CSharp").Item("InsertTabs").Value = Not currentSetting
  End If

  If DTE.ActiveDocument.Language = "SQL" Then
      Dim currentSQLSetting As Boolean = DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "SQL").Item("InsertTabs").Value
      DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "SQL").Item("InsertTabs").Value = Not currentSQLSetting
  End If

  If DTE.ActiveDocument.Language = "HTML" Then
      Dim currentHTMLSetting As Boolean = DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "HTML").Item("InsertTabs").Value
      DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "HTML").Item("InsertTabs").Value = Not currentHTMLSetting
  End If

  If DTE.ActiveDocument.Language = "JScript" Then
      Dim currentJScriptSetting As Boolean = DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "JScript").Item("InsertTabs").Value
      DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "JScript").Item("InsertTabs").Value = Not currentJScriptSetting
  End If

End Sub
