The folders under my solution in the Solution Explorer window randomly expand. This happens everytime I load the project, and randomly as I use Visual Studio 2008. The behavior seems to have no real pattern, and it's like it has a mind of it's own. Any ideas on what I can do to keep behaving like you would imagine it should (expand/collapse only when the + or - is clicked on)?
If you don't see the Solution Explorer tool window, you can open it from the Visual Studio menu bar by using View > Solution Explorer, or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L.
When you create a new project, Visual Studio creates a solution to contain the project. You can then add other new or existing projects to the solution if you want.
Solution Explorer is a special window that enables you to manage solutions, projects, and files. It provides a complete view of the files in a project, and it enables you to add or remove files and to organize files into subfolders.
Tools + Options, Projects and Solutions, General. "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer" option. Feature, not a bug.
