Don't put a Help button where a Cancel normally lives
Arrrgh!
Especially when clicking the Help button results in Visual Studio being locked for 30 minutes...
Nooo!!!

So, so, true. I've lost ages due to the misplacement of that button.

Yep...that drives me insane.
The other UI howler that leaves me fuming are the VS source control dialogues that tell you something is about to happen to a file, doesn't tell you what and you can only click OK or Help (which leads to some generic unrelated text about nothing in particular).

I encountered this just today - a series of dialogs (about 10) when trying to load a solution with duff project references. 9 dialog boxes were [OK][Cancel] and then the last one was [OK][Help]. Of course I mindlessly clicked it. Stupid design decisions.
