Menu:  Tools -> Import and Export Settings

WARNING:  Use this at your own risk.  It WILL reset your settings and do things like reset your Toolbox thus getting rid of any custom tabs, code pieces, etc.. you have put in there.

 

Clicking Next will give you the option to save your current settings.  YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DO THIS:

The next screen let's you choose from the list of default settings:

Choose your default settings of choice and click "Finish".  It will run for a few minutes and reset all your settings.  This is definitely something you would do as a last resort and, remember, you can always bring your old settings back by importing the previous settings.

    It would sure be nice to be able to do this without launching the VS app.  I keep getting a message saying it had a problem loading the menu, and to run devenv.exe /resetsettings, but that doesn't seem to do anything, and I still have the problem.
