Visual Studio Toolbox control issues

I was facing some weird issues with the Toolbox in Visual Studio 2008 running under Vista. I wanted to find out where it was storing the toolbox data. Finally after some research found the location. Just wanted want to throw it out there. In my case after deleting all the *.tbd files under the "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0 and let VS create new ones all the headaches got resolved.

In all the other operating systems it is located in the C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0 folder.

If you have different versions of Visual Studio like 2005 or 2003 (hope fully not this), the 9.0 will be 8.0 or below.
