Visual Studio 2010 does not reload open files

Question

Prior to today, if I quit VS2010 and reopened it, my previously opened solution was loaded and any previously opened files were reloaded and displayed in their correct posit

Answer 1

This happened to me as well, but I didn't want to reset all my settings. So here are a couple things to try before that:

1. Export your settings (Tools -> Import and Export Settings) and open the resulting file in a text editor. Search for a section starting with . In my file, there were two places with a riduculous amount of duplicate entries. I deleted all but one in both places then I imported this file into VS and it fixed it for me. Note: I re-imported everything.

2. Along the same lines as above, I read a post about exporting your current settings and then importing the resulting file but excluding window layouts (All Settings -> General Settings -> Window Layouts).
