For Visual Studio 2005, you need to substitute 8.0 for 9.0.

It works in VS2005 without problems... at least for me.

Obviously, the key change to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0

I don't decide yet if I prefer this setting, I'll try it for a time (so far, it looks nice)

Thanks for this and all your VS tips, Sara!

I followed the hubbub over the shark-fin tabs pretty closely when they came out in 2005, and with all the people asking for more control over the ordering, etc, I'm surprised nobody mentioned this hack until 3-4 years later. Maybe I just missed it, but once again, the moral of the story is Go Sara Go!

I don't have the \VisualStudio\9.0 key under HKCU. It does however exist under the HKLM path.

That's awesome! Now, is there any way to prevent the ellipsis in the name in the tabs and on the drop down? I'd like to see the whole name! Find that one, and I'll be set for life!

This is just wonderful. Oh, had I known about it something like two years ago (sigh)... Thanks, Sara!

I'm running VS 2008 on a 64-bit PC and this doesn't work for some reason. Any ideas? (I love it on my 32-bit machine though!)
