Enabling Guidelines
First, shut down Visual Studio 2005 if already started.
Under
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]/Software/Microsoft/VisualStudio/8.0/Text Editor
Create a string value called
Guides
Set Guides to the following
RGB(x,y,z) n
1,...,n
13
Where x,y,z are the RGB values and n is the column number. You can have at most 13 guidelines.
For example,
Guides = RGB(128,0,0) 5, 80
will place a Red guideline at column numbers 5 and 80.
And now launch VS and open a text file.
