I guess I’m guilty if not having enough real-world experience with VS2005 yet because I hadn’t noticed this gem was missing in VS2005.

On the last 2003 project I worked on we used this menu to great effect to streamline our test/debug workflow. Yet I was asked the other day by one of the guys on my team where it had disappeared to!

I had some time available this morning so I though I would check it out.

It turns out that it has just been dropped from the default Debug menu. The old Ctrl+Alt+E shortcut still worked to show the Exceptions dialog so at least the feature was still there.

With a bit of menu customization work I’ve now added the Exceptions option back onto the Debug menu.
