I am setting a token in tools\options\environmen\tasklist



I can add it to the list, I can use it in the comments of the task list, but when I close VS and reopen it the token is gone. All other Options setting save just fine and in 2 other VS installations on two other boxes the token is there after exiting and coming back.



If I export settings, then reimport them on starting up again the token is there, but if I then close VS and reopen it the token is gone.



Have rebooted the box a couple times. Vista with all the latest.



Suggestions appreciated.

SOLUTION !



It was Greg McGuffey's fault!



Greg turned me on to a great source control tool VisualSVN.



Turns out ( god I love Google ) that with VisualSVN installed and a project open the tokens won't get saved. You have to open VS without opening a project, add the custom token to the list, then close VS. Next time you open up the token is there.



Go figure.



( VisualSVN worth checking out (little source control joke there). ) Free, extremely easy to install and at least for a single developer just trying to cover his tail looks like a pretty good solution (certainly a better one than no source control )

That is good to know for the next time I recommend VisualSVN.
