In Visual Studio 2005, whenever I would view a file in the main editor, the Solution Explorer would find and highlight that file. Some time ago, this stopped working and the Solution Explorer would do nothing.
This has become quite a pain since following a chain of "Go To Definition"s can lead you all over your solution. Where is the setting to turn this back on?

The icon is two arrows in the solution explorer, and has the hotkey Ctrl + [ , S to show the current document in the solution explorer.
Add files to a solution To add an item to a solution, on the context (right-click) menu of the solution node in Solution Explorer, select Add > New Item, or Add > Existing Item. A solution file is a structure for organizing projects in Visual Studio.
Click on the title bar, and drag it to the right portion of the screen. Eventually you'll see a compas like structure popup. Make sure you hover over the right area and let go of the mouse button. That will bind it to the right side.
Click on the Tools → Options menu. Select the Projects and Solutions → General option page.
Make sure "Track active item in Solution Explorer" is checked. That should do it.
