Can't Remove Snippets from VS.Net on Vista?
Quite a while ago I ran into the issue where I couldn’t remove code snippets from Visual Studio 2005. Just click remove didn’t seem to work from the Snippet Manager. I had found a loction where a hidden XML file contained the snippet names, and once you updated that file the snippets were finally killed. On Vista the location of this file is slightly different due to the different structure of the users directories. The location now is <C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\1033\ExpansionsXML.xml>. Not completely hard to find if you knew the path on XP, but I thought I’d blog it anyway.
