Missing File menu in visual studio 2010

I just got irritated to see the file menu in visual studio 2010 missing. All other items of the menu, e.g. Edit, View, Refactor, Project, Build etc. were showing. Only mischievous was the File item. It would be of no value for me if only I could add new project in an existing project. But I couldn't find any such option. I had to workout to recover my lost menu item back. And the way is as discussed below.
1. Run Visual Studio Command Prompt for VS2010 as Administrator 2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common 7 3. Run devenv with the option /ResetSettings 4. Press enter This will reset the default settings for the visual studio and open it. Now you see the missing File item. Thanks.
