How to change programming layout after setting it at the first execution?

When starting Visual Studio 2008 you are asked to choose a programming layout (preset?), which can be C++ or C# (or generic?). Few months ago I choose the C++ preset because I was working on a C++ project, while now I'm working to a C# project. Is there a way to reset the Visual Studio layout to C#?

Go to:

  1. Tools > Import and Export Settings
  2. Import selected environment settings
  3. Yes, save my current settings (if you want to backup current settings; No, if you don't want to)

  4. Choose one of the following under Default Settings:

    • General
    • JavaScript
    • Visual Basic
    • Visual C#
    • Visual C++
    • Web Development
    • Web Development (Code Only)

Notes

  • Alternatively, in step 2, you may choose Reset all settings.
  • You may also use /ResetSettings command line switch.

For Visual Studio 2015 it's the same steps described by @Dariusz Woźniak but you can select "Reset all settings" instead of "Import" on step 2.
