What are your most-recommended Visual Studio preferences?

Question

There are so many little options and settings within Microsoft Visual Studio. Which adjustments do you recommend to others?

Answer 1

Window Layouts

This really isn't a setting but something I always do is back up my settings via Tools > Import and Export Settings.

I make sure to back up my window layouts for both single and multiple monitors. It saves frustration when moving from my multi-monitor setup to a single monitor for a presentation.

Not to mention, it makes it easy to get up and running on a new PC.
