Title: Silly User
Message: Does anyone know how to tell a user that he should change his way of using mouse or change sensitivity? Every time he clicks, he tries to drag a part of me out. He is not a bad guy though, he puts it back in after some not so good words towards me. It sometimes changes my anatomy. But that's the beauty of being a superior being. Isn't it?
I know he owns me legally or illegally but...

No, but if you do, for gawds sake tell me!
It's a PITA - I get them all organised nicely, and then - whammo - one is floating about and won't go back where I want it. Annoying "feature".

Oh or you have everything arranged nicely and then something crashes and ALL of your well positioned windows and tabs and so one are gone and back to default?
This happens to me from time to time.. Sometimes when I incidentally open to Visual Studio solutions at the same time. One is able to load the settings the other doesn't... guess which ones settings are saved when closing them

That's why I said inadvertently and blame my finger!

I fixed it but don't recall how. I'd suggest digging around in options and installing productivity power tools (2010[^] 2012[^]) if you haven't done so already. About half my make VS less elephanted fixes came from the latter so it's quite possible that what you want is there instead of baked in.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Increase the double-click time interval of your mouse. Problem gone.

Most initiatives actually do not fail, they adopt to the wild changes of this dynamic tech world, which runs like the storms in Jupiter. In the process they simply morph into a different , better shapes. The far the companies could foresee the changes, the more gradual , stable & graceful the morph would be.
That has happened to all the VB programmers now. I used to develop for C++/VB then morphed into C# desktop developer, now into the devices using C#-XAML. And if Microsoft could foresee things better, they would have titled all their product lines towards the cloud and web in a more graceful way. Not just MS it's a phase to go through for all the companies. If we have to say things were a failure, I must start from GWBASIC , PASCAL, Applets, Flash etc
Man everything has it own time!

Wait a minute. A failure resulted in a site dwelling for good over ten years and over 10 Million members! Many of these 10M members, write code for a living and majority work with .Net.
What if MS had succeeded? They might replaced English with VB C#.

Ahem. According to Andrew Oliver[^]'s (admittedly very brief) biography, I wouldn't expect an unbiased viewpoint on anything Microsoft.

Congrats. I believe the hamsters got together and got you a can of motor oil.

You get a parking space I believe, but it's on Bob's World. The key to the cupboard is not very helpful: it was emptied a few years ago, and never restocked.

Congrats, got interested and looked up my orphan member status and am at 11 yrs 2 months. Man the time has flown by.
Interesting (or not) story when I first joined they had a special running on VS 1.0 and I didn't have a credit card at the time and I emailed the guy in charge of sales and asked him how I could order without credit card and he was at a lose he didn't know what to tell me as it had never been done. Mailed them a money order and got VS!
