I’ve started work on an ASP.Net project and for some reason Visual Studio keeps displaying what I assume is debug information about web pages I’m viewing (not from the web project) under a ‘Script Documents’ folder in the solution.
This is quite annoying as if I click on it accidentally it opens a long list files / messages / script blocking to do with gplus_notifications_gadget.html (part of the Google toobar, I think).
They disappear when I stop the web project, but I don’t want them there in the first place.
Apart from getting rid of the Google toolbar, is there a way I can set Visual Studio not to pick up this information?
I finally found the solution to this, it seems that it’s an issue that’s been in since Visual Studio 2008.

In the end, I settled for changing this registry key:
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\AD7Metrics\Engine{F200A7E7-DEA5-11D0-B854-00A0244A1DE2} /v ProgramProvider /d {4FF9DEF4-8922-4D02-9379-3FFA64D1D639} /f
