Tips : devenv.exe Problem

Since I am super busy in my work :P, running devenv.exe from Run menu instead of finding the shortcut of VS 2003 in Start Menu can save me a lot of time. When Microsoft distributed a hundred versions of Whidbey I gladly installed/uninstalled the latest version for checking its new features [along with sending a thousand error report to microsoft .. ]:-))... Unfortunately, after UNINSTALLING Whidbey from my machine I was unable to call "devenv.exe" to launch Visual Studio 2003 coz some of register keys have been changed when I installed Whidbey.So after a lot of effort I found out how to fix this and I am sharing it with you all

Steps to perform ~
1) Open registry editor (regedit.exe)

2) Go to this path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\

Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\devenv.exe"

3) Check the value of this key.. [ you will see this string "
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\
Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"]

4) Change this string to
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\
Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"5)

Done!!

Check : Type "devenv" in run menu... Wow! Visual Studio 2003 is opening...
Hope you will find it useful..
