Visual Studio 2010 loses user settings when run side by side

Since some time I register an annoying behavior in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 under Windows Vista. Sometimes my user settings are lost on start up. This happens most of the time, when I had open the same solution parallel in two instances of VS and after closing both, the settings are lost on the next start of VS. I do not change settings while running the two VS.

Did anyone experience the same behavior?

Of cource I saved my settings, but especially my keyboard short cuts cannot be fully restored, because I overwrote some global default short cuts. So that's what bugs me about it most. ([EDIT] This is an independent problem, see Microsoft Connect.)

Is there a way to get VS not to kill my settings on start?

VS overwrites user settings on close. If you want to avoid such problems, you should close an instance where you made changes last.
