Customize startup controls for VB

[seaweed]

Just thought you might want a break from the tough questions with what I'm sure is a simple one...

Is there a way to set up VB so that when I start it up it includes controls other than the standard ones (i.e. all the Windows common controls) in the toolbox without me having to add them each time?

Thanks in advance,

P.S. Why do the MS Windows Common Controls 5.0 still show up in the Components window when I have MS Windows Common Controls 6.0?

Hi,

there is as template\projects path in your VB installation. Save an empty project with all the references you want in there. When you open a new project, choose that project template and you have all your controls at hand.
