Sometimes when you pin the Toolbox in Visual Basic 2003, the IDE hangs.
There are various theories about why this happens but it seems to have
something to do with the Server Explorer window that normally shares the
left side of the IDE with the Toolbox. I've seen two fixes that seem to
work.
First, start the IDE, hover over the Toolbox icon until it expands,
right-click on the Toolbox's title bar, and uncheck Auto Hide to pin the
Toolbox.
Second, start the IDE, hover over the Server Explorer until it expands, and
click its Close button (the little X in its upper right corner). Now the
Toolbox seems to behave. (Removing the Server Explorer will also make the
IDE start up a little faster.)
After either method, immediately close the IDE so the next time you start
Visual Studio, it remembers to use the new settings.
