Why does Visual Studio 2010 not save Environment Settings

visual studio 2010

I am changed the toolbar and window (like solution explore, properties windows etc.) arrangement settings i.e arrange as per my conventions.

Now I am close the vs2010 and next day I open the vs2010 then my setting lost and this things happen some time not always. i.e. some times saved and some times not saved.

e.g. I create macros, I create new toolbar and arrange my macro on my new toolbar and rename the display name of the macro.

Now I close vs2010 normally and reopen then I lost the my renamed macro it set the original name.

After reopen the visual studio I get this:

In those situations when the settings weren't saved, did you happen to run multiple instances of Visual Studio? If you start multiple Visual Studios and then close them, the Visual Studio which was closed the last will override all the setting changes made through the other instances.

If that is not the case, maybe you could try moving the configuration file to some other location in the hard drive. You can do this through Tools - Options - Environment - Import and Export Settings. Visual Studio Settings
