When I unload projects in visual studio, where does VS save this setting?

I checked the solution file and the project file, and can not find anything related to this setting. When people get latest version from TFS source control, they always see the 'loaded' status, which is not really what I want.

Right-click on your solution and select Show Unloaded Projects or Hide Unloaded Projects.

What does unloading a project do in Visual Studio?

Editing your project file is not something you are going to do often. By making you unload the project before editing it, they are making it hard on purpose. This will keep you from accidentally changing something.

Where are Visual Studio projects saved?

When you create a new project, Visual Studio saves it to its default location, %USERPROFILE%\source\repos. To change this location, go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Locations.

This information is stored in the solution user options file (.suo) which you can find in the same directory as the solution file. As the name implies this is user specific information which means sharing this across the team will be difficult because then everyone will need to live with the same options and store files in the exact location because the .suo file contains full paths.
