Hi all.
I have been fiddling with VS.Net Addins in the 2005 Beta1 edition and
somehow I've managed to fill my Tools menu with TONS of copies of a
particular addin (it's the "hello world" of addins with the smiley
icon and the name "Happy Face!").
I think it got there when I wrote my first addin tester but now I
can't get rid of it. I've tried running the "devenv /setup" but that
doesn't seems to do the trick. Somehow, it keeps replicating itself
too.
When I log on to windows as a different user I do not see these in my
tool menu. So, I logically assumed that something would be in my
"Documents and Settings". I did find a folder under C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio called
8.0 (and 8.0Exp). If I delete both of these folders, they just get
recreated and the addins are still in my tool menu.
So where are these addins stored? I don't know the GUID of the class
I created so I don't know what to unregister. Where is this stuff
stored? How do you wipe this out???
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I've got some more information but the plot has thickened. I
found that if you go into Tools | Import/Export Settings and then
select the "Reset IDE Settings" and hilite the General Development
Settings that this will wipe things out (seeming for 8.0 and 8.0Exp).
But, when I close all IDE's and go back into my Addin project and
rerun it, then no Addin shows up!!! What a mess!!!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
