Feature Suggestion: Restart with `100%` display scaling! #88

Hiya, Mads!

I can't believe how quickly this addon has become one of my most used extensions. The 'restart' feature alone would be worth the price of admission.

I've been developing on a display with a 200% DPI setting lately. As some of the work I've been doing with WinForms, it's been useful that the IDE will suggest upon opening a designer window, to optionally restart devenv with 100% display scaling. This makes it easier to work with the designer when Logical to Physical pixel math isn't what I want to work on.

However, it seems to only offer that option to restart in that mode the first time the designer is shown. I would love an option in the Restart menu of Tweakster to restart with 100% display scaling.

Thanks for all your hard work!

The 100% display scaling is already offered by the WinForms designer. If I were to design any WinForms interface, I would love to have a jump list shortcut (devenv /noscale) to start with 100% display scaling so I won't have to start VS twice.
