Problem
I am writing a Visual Studio template wizard. And to debug it I have it start a new instance of Visual Studio 2010. My Visual Studio 2010 takes a good while to start up. I believe that this is due the the add-ins and extensions that I have installed for visual studio. I would rather not go disable them all (I really like them). So I was hoping there was a way to disable them via the command line. Just run a clean Visual Studio instance. Is there a way to do that?
