Copying visual studio 2010 installed extensions options to another computer


I have visual studio 2010 installed and configured with some extensions at my home computer. Now i want to copy all installed extensions settings from my home computer to work computer, how can i do that?

I can copy visual studio settings via import/export dialog but this not work for extensions settings.


Solution

  • Visual studio extension settings are stored in the registry:

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\DialogPage\<extension>
    

    if they implement the default extension settings mechanism.

    Otherwise you'll have to go to the individual extension website to see where they store their settings.
