Visual Studio downloads the news section from an RSS feed. To change the URL Visual Studio uses,
open the Tools menu, select Options, open the Environment folder, and select the Startup item. Enter the
new URL in the “Start Page news channel” text box.
Instead of the Start Page, Visual Studio can take one of several other actions when it starts. To change
Visual Studio’s startup action, select the Options command in the Tools menu. Then select the Show all
settings check box so you can see all of the options and open the Environment folder’s Startup item. In
the “At startup” dropdown, you can select one of the following options:
❑ Open Home Page
❑ Load last loaded solution
❑ Show Open Project Dialog Box
Figure 1-2: By default, Visual Studio displays the Start Page.
