I have a work computer which has ArcGIS desktop installed first and then VS2010 (just the way IT does it) and then templates are not available, anyone know what I need to do to see the templates?
I am running this under Windows XP.

When creating a new project using an ArcGIS template, you have to make sure you target the .NET Framework 3.5 instead of 4, which comes up by default 
The latest supported version is VS Express 2010. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/system-requirements/10.2/index.html#//01510000006n000000

I think VS2010 only works if you point it at the .NET 3.5 framework, not the 4.0. Kind of makes 2010 redundant imo. I don't think it will work properly
Arc 10 (sp1) VS2010, VS 2008 and VS Express 2008 - all 3.5 Framework. with ArcGIS 10.1 - 4.00 framework and VS2010
So:
VS2010 if you use the .net 3.5 framework. Standard and Professional work.
VS2010 Express is not supported VS2008 Express is
ArcObjects SDK still checks for VS2008 on installation
