Getting the 80 column marker on Visual Studio

Just open up regedit and navigate to the key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Text Editor

Create a new String (REG_SZ), with the content RGB(255,128,128) 79, and you’ll have a thin red line on the 80th column of your option-lacked IDE.
