I just started trying out MSVC-2010 seriously, and discovered 2 critical toolbar buttons I always used are missing: The back and forward navigation buttons, which were present in MSVC 2003 through 2008. These jump back (or forward) through the sequence of locations observed in the code recently. Can anyone tell me how to get these buttons back?
Here are the product miscellanea:

By default, Alt+Left navigates back, and if you remove the Alt+Right shortcut for Edit. CompleteWord in Microsoft Visual Studio, Alt+Right navigates forward.
Navigate Forward/Backward Ctrl+–/Ctrl+Shift+– If you've moved from one location to another you can use the keyboard sequence <Ctrl>+– to move to the previous location and then you can return using Ctrl+Shift+–.
You can use the navigation bar (the drop-down boxes at the top of the code window) to navigate to code in a codebase. You can choose a type or member to go directly to it. The navigation bar appears when you edit code in a Visual Basic, C#, or C++ code base.
In Visual C++ 2010 Express, you can restore these and many other menu and toolbar commands by selecting Tools->Settings->Expert Settings.
Apparently only experts want to navigate through their code :-)

I see them on the Standard Toolbar:
If for some reason yours have fallen off, you can put them back using Customize. The commands are under Navigate. They are also on the View Menu (Navigate Backwards and Navigate Forwards) and have keyboard shortcuts which are listed on the View Menu.
