Scott Hanselman points out that Visual C# 2005 Express will grab up all your ASP.NET directories and point them to version 2.0 of the framework, without even so much as asking. This is no surprise to anyone who installed .NET 1.1 and found their settings all switched as well, during that joyless time I discovered the ASP.NET Switcher tool that uses ASPNET_REGIIS under the covers to switch selected directories  I have not tried it with 2.0 yet, but I assume it will still work to switch the version back to v1.1.

(Hint for Microsoft: Ask next time!)
