Get rid of floating windows

Visual Studio 2003 drives me really crazy because of all these docked
and/or floated windows. Although one can select the MDI paradigm in the
options, this does not apply to all windows! I have the choice either to
dock them - with the effect that half of my display space gets used-up,
or let them floated - with the result I'm  wasting half of my time in
moving around windows. Obviously, the designers of this UI have never
really worked with their own product....
I really hope that the next VS version will offer an MDI interface that
applies to ALL windows (as it was in VS 6).

Regards Urs

Right click->uncheck  "Docking".

Then I get a 'floating' window, always statying on top, which drives me
even more crazy. I want these Windows being 'ordinary MDI windows'. That
is, they can be minimized, tiled, cascaded, sent behind etc. As it was
in Studio 6, when you unchecked 'Docking View'.

Regards Urs

Uncheck both "Docking" and "Floating".

Hi Alexander,

Thanks a lot, that's it! I guess I was blind!
