Hi.  I recently moved to a new workstation.  When developing Web Applications
in VS 2005, the Build Menu in Visual Studio only contains the 'Build' and
'Publish' options.  Normally there's also 'Clean', 'Rebuild', etc showing on
this menu.  I can right-click the project in the solution explorer and
'Clean' or 'Rebuild', but why aren't these options showing on the menu??

Thanks!
Mike

What default settings did you select after reinstalling VS 2005 on the new
PC? Try resetting your defaults.

Tools->Import and Export Settings...
Follow the prompts to save your current settings (or not, your choice), then
select new defaults. Choose General Development Settings, or the language
you prefer.

I've noticed this behavior happens consistently if you install VS2005 and
then immediately install SP1 and all other updates - without opening VS2005
at all before updating.

If you install VS2005, open it (and select your profile), then install the
updates, the problem does not happen. I'm guessing one of the updates is
expecting a profile, not finding it and wreaking havoc.

Reset settings from Import/Export settings always fixes it for me.
