VB6 IDE can get into a state when the Make XXXX menu option under the File Menu is disabled.
Found my own solution that did not require re-installing VB6.
In VB6, Right click on the toolbar, goto Customize and reset toolbars.
Aftewards, the Make XXXX menu under the File menu is re-enabled!
I have encountered this when the file(s) were read-only. Make the files read/write and try again.
In VB6 IDE, go to menu View->Toolbars->Customize->Reset.

Would specifically like to edit /etc/hosts without leaving the Intellij window. How can I open this file while working on some arbitrary project in Intellij?
Clicking on the File menu (Left hand corner) then clicking Open does the trick, just like most applications.
To set a shortcut for that File Open click you can click on File then settings (Ctrl+Alt+S) and then under Keymap search for File Open. Right click open and you should see the add shortcut dialog. I'm a bit surprised there isn't a default shortcut for this.
I have tried the the following https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/safe-delete.html?search=dele but the safe delete options does not get enabled on the ide.
please try the following:
in WebStorm, close the project
delete it from Recent projects list (in Welcome screen, focus the
project and hit Delete)
shut down WebStorm
delete the project folder completely from your disk
To remove project from Webstorm, go to menu and click on File -> Open Recent -> Manage Projects (at the bottom)
In popop which opens highlight the project you want to delete and click on X beside it
There's a small feature I have been yearning about in intellij idea and I will give it a try in this forum, maybe it is already possible.
In brief: I want a button that opens the working folder of the project I am working on.
Since this is the folder I put my settings files I am doing the following operation dozens of times a day -
open the run/debug configuration.
go to my activbe project tab.
copy the working directory.
open run (win+r).
paste the folder path and press enter.
X dozens of times.
Is there a way to add a button somewhere that opens my working folder?
BTW: I know that in the project settings - External tools - I can add actions. but there is no workingFolder in the macros. is there a way to add the working folder? (eventhough a button would be better)
Thanks a lot.
If you need to manage files, why not do it right from IntelliJ? If you have to go to explorer, right click any file or folder in the project panel, and there's a "Show in Explorer" option in Windows (no default key mapping). There's also "Show Path" (ctrl+alt+F12), which lets you open Explorer to any parent directory of the selected file all the way up to the drive. Finally, "Copy Path" (ctrl+shift+C) will copy the absolute path to the clipboard. (This is in IDEA 10.5, but I know Copy Path has been there a long time.)
I'm evaluating the IntelliJ IDE. I changed some of the display/font setting (among other things) and would like to reset the UI back to default. Is there a simple way to reset the display UI back to its default settings?

You can simply delete the whole configuration folder ${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea60/config while IntelliJ IDEA is not running. Next time it restarts, everything is restored from the default settings.
It depends on the OS:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108
On Mac OS for IntelliJ v12, shut down the IDE, and then you can execute:
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC12/*
Restart the IDE, or open a pom.xml of your choosing. You will be asked whether you want to import the preferences from an existing IntelliJ instance. Select the "No, I do not have a previous IntelliJ version" radio button.
You can delete IDEA configuration directory to reset everything to the defaults. If you want to reset the editor Colors&Fonts, then just switch the scheme to Default.
All above answers are correct, but you loose configuration settings.
But if your IDE's only themes or fonts are changed or some UI related issues and you want to restore to default theme, then just delete
${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea13/config/options/options.xml
file while IDE is not running, then after next restart IDE's theme will gets reset to default.
To switch between color schemes: Choose View -> Quick Switch Scheme on the main menu or press Ctrl+Back Quote
To bring back the old theme: Settings -> Appearance -> Theme
The existing answers are outdated. This is now doable from the menu:
Window -> Restore Default Layout (shift+f12)
Make sure nothing is currently running, as the Run/Debug window layout will not be reset otherwise.
From the main menu, select File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings.
Alternatively, press Shift twice and type Restore default settings
check, if this works for you.
File -> Settings -> (type appe in search box) and select Appearance -> Select Intellij from dropdown option of Theme on the right (under UI Options).
Hope this helps someone.
I am working in VB.NET and I am familiar with working in the vb[design] view as well as regular vb. I am looking to view/edit my APP.CONFIG file how do I access this file? I am using Visual Studio 2008
The file should be in your project root directory. You can open it by double clicking it in the solution explorer. If the file is not there, you will need to add it using the add new item dialog (from the Project menu), and choosing "Application configuration file"
You can add it a couple of ways, first by adding it via the new item dialog as you would a new class file, etc... OR by double clicking on the My Project Icon and going to your settings tab and adding settings. This will aso create the app.config.
