Hidden functionality after changing your settings      Craig Skibo - MSFT   |   Edit   |  
When asking another Visual Studio user for help, they may tell you to select a specific menu item or item on a command bar. However, you may not be able to find that menu item or command bar button where that user indicated it would be. This is because some settings may hide or move the location of menu items or command bar buttons. If you cannot find an item, then you can temporarily switch to the settings file that the other user has loaded to make finding those items easier.
