VS 2005 Toolbox Messed Up
I'm not sure when this happened, but at some point my Visual Studio 2005 grew up a group named "# 13119" which I cannot delete (it even shows up in the toolbar when I open the code file - it's the only thing there ...
Is there a way to fix this? I tried to reset the toolbox and it didn't help. It’s not a big deal, but rather frustrating.

It looks like you ran into this problem:

From a blog post:
Make sure you see all the folders in your box. We head to the hidden files area: (Under "Tools -> Folder Options")
Close Visual Studio if open.
Go here: C: \ Users \ YOUR_USER_NAME \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 9.0 \
Save the following files in the temp folder to keep and delete the originals.
- toolboxIndex_reset.tbd
- toolboxIndex.tbd
- toolbox_reset.tbd
- toolbox.tbd
Restart Visual Studio and the files will be recreated. It will take a few seconds for the toolbox to fill up again.
