Hi

I've just upgraded to SP1. I noticed that all of the standard controls in
the toolbox where repeated. Now when I reset the toolbox another set of the
same controls are added. I currently have 5 lots of the same controls and I
can't see anyway to fix it.

Where does VS store the config for the toolbox? How can I fix it?

Please help
Andrew

While I'm not sure what's causing that to happen in your case, you can
clear the toolbox cache by closing all VS instances and then deleting
toolbox*.* in the following directory (in this case, on Windows Vista):
<root>:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\

Tip of the hat to Alan Cameron Wills for his related VS 2005 post:
