visual-studio-2008 controls toolbox

The toolbox in Visual Studio Professional 2008 has somehow ended up with 12 instances of each control. They are just the standard controls, no third party controls, and I have no third party plugins.

Is there a way to rebuild the toolbox to correct this issue with the dupes? I've been living with it for a while, but it's pretty annoying.

Did you try right clicking the Toolbox and selecting "Reset Toolbox"?

That should reset it to the defaults.
