Oh drats! That's the reverse of what I'm trying to do. I've got to figure out how to utterly remove VS2010 (if it's possible). When I finish today's hobby coding I'll run a global search through the registry to try and get clues about which products have their lives entwined with VS2010, then see if it's safe to attempt to untangle them.
