I have a strange problem with VS where something causes all menus and
toolbars to multiply. All menus and all toolbars will have all items
duplicated, and the problems mulitplies when a project is opened, where there
are several copies of every menu and toolbar item. I haven't a clue how to
fix this other than reinstalling. I have had this happen several times now,
the only common denominator, I think, is that I have multiple instances of VS
running.

Is there any way to fix this problem without reinstalling?

Close all IDE instances, open a VS.NET command prompt an type:

devenv.exe /setup

That should reset the environment.

I have the same problem and it has happened multiple times for me as well. I
did a 'devenv.exe /setup' which took only an instant to run, but upon opening
visual studio again the duplicate menus still exist.
I also tried removing my profile, resetting the toolbar (via the customize),
and doing a repair install, none of which were able to fix the problem.
I fixed it before by uninstalling and reinstalling. Any other tips so I can
save the hours of uninstalling, reinstalling and service pack installing.
