Support multiple Visual Studio user profiles (suo)

I work in two environments with Visual Studio 2008: my laptop and my laptop + external monitor. When I work with the second monitor, I like it when my solution explorer and other non-code windows are on the second monitor, and the screen of my laptop is just code files. It's a little painful to change windows every day when I switch between environments. Is there a better way to manage my user settings? I could manually disable my .suo files before starting VS, but that seems to be just as annoying. Any suggestions?

You can export your settings and the position of your windows to a file, and then import this file while VS is running. To solve your problem, you can configure VS as you like, without an external monitor, and then export your settings. Then configure it for monitoring and export. When you attach or remove your monitor, simply import the appropriate settings file.

This article should demonstrate where the import / export settings are located.
