How to start SQL Server Management Studio without loading add-ins

I recently installed the add-in for SQL Management Studio for intelisense / refactoring. This caused my Management Studio to run so slow that it was unusable. I uninstalled the product, but it still affects Management Studio. Can I run without any add-ons?

No guarantees, but since SSMS is built on top of the Visual Studio shell, you can try to hold down the shift key to the left while starting SSMS - this keystroke disables add-ins in Visual Studio.

Also look here for a registry trick.

Remove keys from:



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell\AddIns

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell\AddIns
