Visual Studio 2010 shows old Visual Studio 2008 "Add Reference" dialog

I've just noticed a very odd behaviour with VS2010.

At some point since install, it's reverted to showing the old VS2008 "Add References" dialog, instead of the fancy new VS2010 one (I do have VS2008 on this box too).

I've googled around and not found a solution.

I've tried fully resetting all options, both from Tools->Import/Export settings->Visual C# Dev Settings, and by issuing a DEVENV.EXE /RESETSETTINGS

Has anyone got any suggestions or solutions to this issue? Has anyone even seen this problem before?

EDIT: PEBKAC. As noted below, the "fancy new Visual Studio 2010" Add References dialog was actually a Productivity Power Tools Extension feature - which I disabled yesterday. Silly me! Thanks to all commenters

From my comment, now in answer form...:

"This is not a direct answer, but might really help, have you tried the productivity power tools extension? It has a really slick add reference dialogue. There are mixed reviews on the tab well and solution navigator, but it's definitely worth a download just for the new add reference. This may solve your problem"
