How-To: Tired of ALL CAPS Menus on Visual Studio 2012, Fix it Now

Editor’s Note: Let’s face it, the ‘working environment’ is quite important to a developer. Environment here does not necessarily mean the room with chairs and table, but the coding area – in this case Visual Studio 2012.

Personally, I freak out when people write in upper case – emails, SMS, or IMs. It’s like they are shouting at me. For all those people who can’t stand the ALL CAPS menus in Visual Studio 2012 there’s a way to switch them to normal casing.

Crack open your registry editor and create the following registry key and value

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio11.0GeneralSuppressUppercaseConversion
REG_DWORD value: 1

Here’s what it looks like before

And here it is after the change

You’re all very welcome!  Now go tell your friends
