What is the best way to inhibit the creation of a tool window on startup that
was open when VS shut down? (similar to the Help window behavior in VS2003)

Hello Greg,

First, do not use the ForceCreate flag when calling
IVsUiShell->CreateToolWindow()

Second, add to the registry a DWORD entry named DontForceCreate with a
value of 1. This should be added under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version#>\ToolWindows\<YourToolWindowG
uid>\

Doing both should get you the result you desire
