The "Synchronize" button on the Settings tab in Project Properties has
stopped working for me.

I have a project that has several User Settings. Through testing and
debugging, those values get set. Until today, I haven't been having
any issues: When I clicked "Synchronize", I got a list of files that
were deleted and the settings reset to their defaults.

Now, when I click "Synchronize", I just get a message that says "No
user.config files were found in any of the following locations:" and
no locations are listed. Worse, the user settings -do not reset to
their defaults-.

I have tried earching the hard drive and deleting any user.config
files where the path contains the name of my application. This has
not fixed the issue. I see through my searching that I'm not the only
person who has this issue, but I haven't been able to find any
solutions.

The only workaround I have is to run code that contains
My.Settings.Reset(). This is a poor solution.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and managed to overcome it?

Thanks in advance.
