I’ve seen user reports in several forums, where two instances of Internet Explorer get launched when doing F5<\/EM>, CTRL+F5<\/EM>, or View in Browser<\/EM> in Visual Studio 2005 running on Windows Vista.<\/P>\n

If you are encountering this issue, taking the following two steps should fix it:<\/P>\n

    \n
  1. Install the beta version of the <\/STRONG>Visual Studio 2005 Update for Windows Vista<\/STRONG><\/A>.<\/STRONG>  The final version of this update is planned to ship very soon, I will post an update to this blog when its available.<\/LI>\n
  2. Run Visual Studio 2005 with elevated<\/EM> administrative rights.<\/STRONG>  Even if you are a member of the “Administrators” group on the local machine, applications launched in Vista do not<\/STRONG> run with elevated<\/EM> administrative rights unless the user explicitly specifies to do so.  To use Visual Studio 2005 with elevated<\/EM> administrator rights on Windows Vista, you must right-click on the Visual Studio 2005 icon and select the “Run as administrator” command as shown below:<\/LI><\/OL>\n

    However, as you will soon realize, its very easy to forget to do this everytime you start Visual Studio 2005.  Luckily, there is a handy way in Windows Vista to always force Visual Studio 2005 to start with elevated<\/EM> administrative rights.  The following steps describe how to set this up:<\/P>\n

    \n

    1. Right click on Visual Studio 2005 shortcut in the Start Menu and select Properties:<\/EM><\/P>\n

      <\/P>\n

    2. On the Compatability<\/EM> tab choose “Show settings for all users” button:<\/P>\n

    <\/P>\n

    3. In the dialog that is launched, check the “Run this program as an administrator” item:<\/P>\n

    For those Visual Studio web developers out there using Windows Vista this tip should make the experience mostly pain-free!<\/P>\n
