when you have unloaded VA previously and after restarting VS6 load VA again, there are several problems:

1) the VA view is not visible until you click on any of the other views.
2) VA will ask again if you want to assign the keyboard shortcuts
3) VA will create a new VA toolbar (the old one remains)
4) it does not become active in the currently open source window (well, not only open source, also closed source and whatever else)
5) there is no VAssist menu... no, wait, VS6 doesnt have it, right?

Unloading and loading an add-in in VC++ makes the IDE very unstable. The add-in interface was not written to expect such behavior. We highly recommend restarting your IDE immediately after a reload.

Unload and load was our workaround to reassigning keyboard shortcuts.

As for toolbars, you get lots of them quickly with VC++. It comes with the territory. We again blame the add-in interface. Of course, we do things the author of the add-in interface never expected. Just enable one ToolbarN. (The interface does not let one name, reuse or delete a toolbar.)

Probably this should make its way into a message box, then, or maybe you could offer (or force?) the IDE to reload? Just a thought...
