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?

How many instances of the IDE do you have running? Any there any instances in the task manager process list that don't have UI displayed? 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.

OOh, yes, that's what was going on. I did have a couple minimized and somehow one of them was hung and the other was blocked. When I killed the first one, then the other was hung and I had to kill it too.
