What is the best way to bookmark positions in code in Visual Studio 2008/2010?

Question

I find myself going to about five or six main places in my code 80% of the time and would like a way to go to them fast even if all files are closed.

I would like to be able to open up a solution in Visual Studio and without any files open, see a list of self-labeled bookmarks like this:

• LoadNext
• Settings page refresh
• app.config connections
• app settings
• stringhelpers top
• stringhelpers bottom

I click one of these and it opens that file and jumps to that position.

How can I best make bookmarks like this in Visual Studio 2008/2010?

Use task list shortcuts:

1. On a line in text editor use keys (ctrl + k, ctrl + h) this will add a task list shortcut.
2. Open task list tool window.
3. In task list tool window select "short cuts" in the drop-down list.

The task list will the show a list of lines where you made a task list shortcut, whit the text from that line.
