VS automation samples

I've been asked for suggestions for a list of VS automation samples that would help solve tricky tasks that I've observed users working on during usability studies. Just wanted to check if anybody has such a list of samples that they would like us to provide.

One example from a recent study that I can think of would be a sample to show how to automate migrating or copying a bunch of project settings from one project to a collection of other projects.

Any other suggestions?
