  • 0

When starting Visual Studio 2008 in Windows 7 with Shift key pressed, it disables all add-ins.

However this is a common scenario when starting a second instance of the VS from pinned taskbar icon (Shift-click on the icon). Is there a way to disable this behavior or to remap it to another key?

Middle-click is not an option to me as my mouse’s wheel is very inconvenient for clicking.

    It is quite simple: instead of shift-clicking the taskbar icon, right click it and select Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 from the jump list that appears. You can start as many instances as you like this way (one at a time of course).
