I have found that sometimes when I have messed around with the VBIDE,
restoring it to my preference takes many attempts, and a lot of patience.
Moving the windows back to where I want them (I prefer the explorer and
properties on the right not left) takes many attempts, and often I would try
the actions in different orders. Time consuming and annoying, but I get
there eventually.
