I just recently changed from one domain to another. I don't really care much about my settings, since I sometimes like a fresh new start. It's kind of like cleaning out the closet. You take everything you don't wear anymore and throw it in a box in the attic. If you ever need it, you just go into the attic and get it. If it sits there until the next garage sale, you probably don't need it, so get rid of it. Now I get to have a nice fresh desktop - clutter free. If I need any of the files, I can just go into the "attic" and get it.

One thing that I lost was my visual studio settings. In particular, "Script Explorer" is gone. This tool is very handy to see what is currently loaded into Internet Explorer. You can also set break points in javascript and step through the code (by refreshing the page.) I live by it and wish I could afford to run the vs2008 version! Anyway, here is how you can get it back or get it in the first place:

Goto: Tools > Import and Export Setting...
Select: Reset all settings.
Click: Next

Obviously I don't care about my old settings...
Click: favorite option here
Click: Next

This next dialog can be overwelming...
Select: General Development Settings
Click: Finish
Click: Close

And there you have it. After attaching to IE, you can find the said Script Explorer under:
Debug > Windows > Script Explorer

Of course, we can't have a quick tutorial without some fun. Go Ahead and attach to IE with Debug > Attach to Process.... After Attaching, open up Debug > Windows > Memory1

Can someone give me the definition of "Debuggee"?
