                Posted - Nov 02 2007 : 9:35:37 PM  While I have VA running (current build) I have noticed that it's writing to startup.log in appdata\\local\\visualassist pretty regularly. This is preventing my notebook drive from powering down. I have VS minimized while this is happening. Procmon tells me it's writing about every half second or so, about 44 bytes each time.
  Is it possible to disable this? I can understand a log while vs.net is starting up for diagnostic purposes, but while it's sitting there minimized? Tailing the log gives miles of this kind of entry...

  Can this be disabled? |

VA is blocked - maybe another IDE instance crashed?  If you restart the IDE (after ensuring there are none others running), you shouldn't see the logging continue. |
