SubscribeI’ve done two fresh installs of VS 2005 in the last 9 months. Both times, the “immediate” window wasn’t where it was supposed to be. Normally, you start a project in debug mode, hit a break point, and then in the menu, Debug|Windows, you will see Immediate.
I don’t know why, but twice now, mine’s been gone. You can find out how to open the “Command” — ctrl-alt-A. But that doesn’t have intellisense. To get the to the immediate window if it’s not showing up in your Debug|Window menu, open the “command” window and type immed and press enter.
P.S.
Or, as Sanjot points, out just press Ctrl-Alt-I. This appears to work as well.

I found this to be the case also. Very annoying. You would think it would be listed in the KB as a bug.

I just pressed Ctrl + Alt + I and it appeared.

Thanks a lot for the solution

Found another solving, which was pretty obvious though: right click any toolbar and choose Customize (at the bottom); In the window that opens up, on the left select Debug, than in the right look for Immediate Window (a small window with a red exclamation mark) and drag&drop it into a toolbar, or in the menu that it belongs to, or both :D. And it will always be there.

For me, Ctrl+Alt+I brings up the Window Info Box – annoying. All the other solutions above worked.
