<br><br>The "ncb" file is actually the cache of "non-compiled browser" information. The "suo" file ("solution user options") in VS7 is the place where the last-user-chosen-configuration is stored. They've added some new ".user" files in VS8, but they also still have the suo file. It's not clear to me in VS6 or in VS8 where this information is stored.
