This has burned me at least once. I made some environment settings changes while working on a solution, but there was some long-forgotten solution open in another instance of VS2005.

When it came time to close down for the day, I closed the VS instances in the wrong order, so my carefully crafted settings were clobbered.

Does this version write its settings to the registry immediately after you make them? I've lost track of the number of times that I've lost some setting, or more likely many settings, because Visual Studio crashed before I shut it down.

I'm with Joe D. The fact that this doesn't happen until the IDE closes drives me crazy.
