Reset View in Visual Studio 2008?

For some reason, the layout and sizes of various panels in my copy of Visual Studio 2008 has gone all wonky -- for example, the Error and Output windows appear in the same tab group as my code, and their position doesn't persist if I attempt to manually move them where I want them to go. Is there some sort of way to reset all panels to their default state?

I believe this will reset your settings to their factory state:

devenv.exe /resetsettings

In the future, you might want to consider exporting your settings (after you get them where you want them) using the "Tools/Import and Export Settings ..." wizard in Visual Studio.

If you reset in the future, you can then either use the wizard, or use the command

devenv /resetsettings {SettingsFile}

Where {SettingsFile} is your previously exported settings
