I justed installed VS2005 and every time I start it up, every single menu item is duplicated, some more than once. It is the weirdest thing.
The top bar goes like this:
File File Edit Edit View View File File Edit Edit View View Tools Tools Tools Tools Window Window Community Community Help Help Window Window Community
If I were to select "File", for example, the drop down looks like this:
New
New
Open
Open
New
New
Open
Open
etc, etc
What the heck.
VS2005 clean install - all menu items are duplicated

I have the same problem. All menu items in the menu bar are duplicated and triplicated, and their respective menus have as many as 4 items of each within them.
The answer of start->run->devenv /resetide did not work, as resetide was not accepted as a valid switch.
I did add a the debug/release configuration manager to the tool bar last week, but this bug didn't occur until yesterday.
Using the customize option option allows me to remove the duplicates, but they come back with each restart of visual studio.
It sounds like a corrupted INI file, but where are they stored to reset the menu bar
Thanks

wow
try resetting the IDE settings to see if it helps:
start > run > devenv /resetide
you may also wish to update your graphics card driver (just to illiminute problems) and reboot your machine.
