Solving VS2008 record bar issue during stress test application

Hi everyone,

While I was trying to perform stress test into a web application with Visual Studio 2008, I faced an issue, whereby, the recorder bar does not appear when recording a new website.

My environment:
..:: VSTS 2008 : Win7 (64 bit) [I believe, Windows Vista, has the same problem] ::..

Fix:
..:: Win7 caches the list of explorer bars you have available and the recorder bar was not included in your list. ::..

The Solution:
Force Windows to rebuild that cache.
To do this, first make sure you have all Internet Explorer instances shut down,
then open the 32 bit registry editor and delete the following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories\{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories\{00021494-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

The next time you boot Internet Explorer, your explorer bar cache will be rebuilt and the recorder bar should be available.

That's all folks..
