How to make VS2012 stop generating devenv-cps.log?

In order to debug some issues in the build process of my VS2012 project, I followed the steps outlined here

i.e. I added the suggested CPS config settings to devenv.exe.config file, asking for Verbose output. As expected, this made VS2012 to generate devenv-cps.log in c:\temp folder. Before making changes todevenv.exe.config, I saved a backup copy of the original file.

Once I figured out everything I wanted to figure out, I decided to revert devenv.exe.config to its original state by overwriting it from the aforementioned backup copy. However, to my great surprise, this did not restore the original behavior of VS2012. The compiler still creates devenv-cps.log file in c:\temp folder every time I start VS2012 and updates it with verbose output every time I build my project. Why? How do I stop it now?

I feel like I'm missing something very basic. Apparently, the CPS settings from devenv.exe.config became sticky somehow, e.g. they were saved somewhere else. So, how do I disable CPS debugging now and revert to the original behavior of VS2012?
