I'm running Visual Studio 2005 SP1 on Vista with the Vista Update. If I
double-click on a solution to open it, nothing happens. The cursor flashes
briefly, but the IDE does not open. It has been this way ever since I put
Visual Studio on Vista, even without the SP1 updates. I do not have any
other versions of Visual Studio.NET Installed (2002 or 2003), but I do have
Visual Studio 6.0, which I installed before .NET. Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks, that solution works for me since I'm only running VS2005 on my
machine. It looks like they would have fixed that in the SP1 update for
Vista though. Hard to understand why they wouldn't.
