How to solve Visual Studio hang problem when working in win7 with Norton antivirus

| Sunday, December 19, 2010
A recent support email between customer and our developer shows that Norton/Symantec antivirus may affect Visual Studio’s performance in win7 due to the win7 jumplists.  Here’s a workaround for it:

First, to determine if this is the problem, you may want to disable the antivirus temporarily and see if these hangs still repro. If it’s indeed the case, please create/set the following registry value and restart VS2010.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\General]
"ShowRecentFilesInJumplist"=dword:00000001

With the value set, Visual Studio will not try to remove anymore the files from the Win7 jumplists , which would reduce the chance of an antivirus interfering (at least during file saves)
