What have you people done to Control-Y For the past 10 years that I've used Windows this meant REDO (opposite of UNDO). In VB2005 it deletes a line. SERIOUSLY!!! not funny.

On Visual Studio I know it allows you to select the Profile when you initially start up so get the choice. I didnt see it in express at startup.
Which version of VB.Net are you using
I dont think Microsoft arbitarily switch things around on you, it may be that you the version you are using didnt prompt for a Profile (which I think happens in VB Express) or it may be that you selected a default profile of VB (for a visual studio product) in which case you'd get the VB profile and not the Visual Studio one.
I dont know which it is but does going to this option and resetting your mapping cure the problem.

HA! I gotta say I was a bit perturbed.
For the longest while, I've just been using Visual Web Developer while previously using Visual Studio and have become accustomed to the Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-Y as well as them being in other apps (Office is the only one that comes to mind).
Well today, I got into Visual Basic Express and was doing some undoing and redoing parts of the code and suddenly the lines would start cutting out. I didn't think anything of it as I figured I mis-keyed, but it JUST-KEPT-HAPPENING.
I was really getting confused and ended up turning on hotkeys and saw the Redo was Shift-Alt-Backspace. WHAT I've never used that anywhere before.
I then went into the keyboard mappings and looked at all the mapping options and none of them had Redo as Ctrl-Y. I only remember using Ctrl-Y to cut when I was doing Pascal many years ago. But have really just been using mainly Ctrl-X or Shift-Delete to cut.
Anywho, seems I'll set it manually to Ctrl-Y and ask Y this single app uses it to cut a line as it seems to be an ancient method. (I think the keys Ctrl, X, Delete, and Shift existed way back then) Seems most logical to use a key that looks like a removal like X or Del, with the combination of Ctrl or Shift to cut.
Just thought it was funny to see this post and had to reply as I wanted to see if I was just messed in the head.

Ctrl+Y was Yank line in VB6, so you could argue that we shouldn't have switched it to in VS.NET/VS.2003/VS.2005
Seriously, getting the shortcuts set up in a way that suites everyone is impossible. There are too many users who insist that emacs/vi/VB6/VC++6/<pick your editor> have the only acceptable set of keyboard bindings.
This is why we have the different keyboard schemes, and also let you change keyboard shortcuts for individual commands.

Control Y deleting a line pre-dates windows. (I remember it from wordstar back in 1983)
That being said it is likely that you have chosen a profile which had these mappings.
You can change them or pick a new profile.
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
Mapping scheme.
Hope that helps...
