    These are the steps for windows 7:

    1. Press windows + r to open run window and then write “regedit” to open your PC registry.

    2. Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Currentversion -> App Paths -> devenv.exe

    3. Click on devenv.exe and change the value of default.

    When you open default it has value like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

    You need to change the value to your other installation, maybe C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

    After completing steps above, when you run devenv command it opens vs2010.
