I end closing the start page, so that it's not in the way after I start working on a project.</p> <p>In VS2003, the start page was one click away on the help menu.</p> <p><img alt="VS2003 Help Menu" src="http://static.flickr.com/210/471261799_2a2042a604.jpg" border="1"></p> <p>In 2005, it was moved to the View | Other Windows menu item, two clicks away, and a lot of careful mouse movement.</p> <p>I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before, but it's easy to move back, and I love the idea, so I thought I'd share. You probably already know how to do this, but if not, right click on any blank toolbar area, and select Customize. You'll see this window.</p> <p><img alt="VS2005 Customize Menu" src="http://static.flickr.com/194/471244170_b43c7a23ac.jpg" border="1"></p> <p>Simply navigate to View&nbsp;| Show Start Page, and drag that item up to the Help menu. Then close the customize menu.&nbsp;Vwaaaala - you now have your "Show Start Page" on the 2005 Help Menu.</p><img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2361047" width="1" height="1">Visual Studiohelp menustart page
