How can I change the "licensed to" in visual studio?

I’m not sure how it happened, but on startup my VS 2012 copy reads

Licensed To: "Hewlet-Packard (blah)..."

I have no idea how that got there. We installed through our MSDN subscription. Anyone know of a simple way to replace this with either my name or my company’s?

This makes me sad inside.

visual studio 2012 scroll solution explorer to current file

VS2010 had the feature that viewing a file would automatically cause Solution Explorer to scroll to that file.

With VS2012, viewing different files from within the IDE no longer scrolls and select the file in Solution Explorer automatically.

Is it possible to get this feature back? Is there a setting somewhere? If so, how/where?

Format code shortcut for Visual Studio?

How do I undo "Scope to this" in Visual Studio 2012?

In the Solution Explorer, I clicked on “Scope to this” to display only a part of the solution. Now I can’t find how to get back to normal view.

Closing/Reopening Solution Explorer won’t work; I searched every menu item, and “New Solution Explorer View” didn’t work either; I found nothing on Google.

I must be missing something obvious… There…

Fixed Visual Studio Debugging/Loading Very Slow #dev #it #asnwer

Visual Studio Debugging/Loading Very Slow

I’m at wits end. Visual Studio is typically painfully slow to debug or just plain load (“start without debugging”) my MVC sites. Not always: at first, the projects will load nice and fast, but once they load slow, they’ll always load slow after that. I could be waiting 1-2 minutes or more.

My setup:

I’m using Visual Studio 2012 express, currently, but…

How to: Can anybody find the TFS "Unshelve" option in Visual Studio 2012?

Can anybody find the TFS "Unshelve" option in Visual Studio 2012?

I can find the shelve button okay, and had shelved changes earlier today, but now I can’t seem to find a way to unshelve them! This has left me in quite a predicament!

If this button is in fact missing in the Visual Studio 11 Beta, perhaps there is a console based TFS command I can execute to temporarily accomplish this?

Thanks…

Fixed Where can I locate themes for VS2012 #dev #it #asnwer

Where can I locate themes for VS2012

Okay, the lack of color on VS2012 is gross.

Is there someplace I can get a theme pack or something for it so that it actually looks reasonable? I really liked the look of VS2010. However, the new one reminds me way too much of 1984.

While we are at it, is there anyway to have it stop shouting at me? ALL CAPS menus are pretty hard to read. [ note: caps was…
