I recently installed ASP.net MVC on visual studio 2008, all installation had completed but the Asp.Net MVC project is not appearing on the selection when creating a new web project.

A website suggested to reset the settings in Visual studio 2008
Tools -> Import and Export Settings select (reset all settings...). But I forgot that i was currently opening 2 environments this causes the wizard to hang. I killed Visual studio 2008 in task manager and restarted it.

But now its not loading the IDE properly it is in a hanged state where in it is trying to initialize itself, I needed a way to reset the settings manually.

I've search MSDN and found a manual way of resetting it through command

here's the command

devenv /resetsettings

devenv.exe is usually found under c:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\

that should do the trick
