Please note I am not talking about "Track active item in Solution Explorer". I like that, so when I am switching editor windows, Solution Explorer automatically tracks, and made selected the item in its tree. That's cool.
Instead I am asking about the reverse automatism: When I select an item in Solution Explorer (not double click, just select), it opens and activated in the editor using a single rightest tab, in the editor pane. (usual files are stacked from left tabs).
How can I prevent this automatic opening in VS 2015?

Create a new C# WPF Application project. If you have multiple monitors, drag the Solution Explorer window and the Properties window over to your second monitor. If you're using a single monitor only, try closing all the windows except the designer. Press Ctrl+Alt+X to display the Toolbox window.
It is the same as menu:Window->Auto hide all and it autohides all panels in the same stack. Either use standard menu command Alt W A respective Alt W U or give it a shortcut of its own. Auto-hide is nice, yes.
In Visual Studio's menu go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions. Then check "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer".
Use the View menu to turn the Solution Explorer on or off within the environment. Use the Tools > Options menu to navigate to the Projects and Solutions area to select the Always Show Solution option.
In VS 2013 it's under Settings - Environment - Tabs and Windows - Preview Tab.
