Visual Studio 2005: All projects in solution explorer expanded on first opening of solution

Question

Is any way to tell the solution explorer of Visual Studio 2005 not to expand all projects on the first opening of the solutio after svn-checkout?

Edit: Thanks for pointing out the PowerCommands. As I am using Visual Studio 2005 with .Net 2.0 it does not work for me. Are there similar tools available for VS2005?

Answer 1

Duplicate. Solution is to delete the .suo file.

Answer 2

I found this annoying too, so my solution was to install PowerCommands for Visual Studio which is a nice add in, it has "Colapse Project" function which does exactly that. it also has a dozen of other cool features.

Highly recommended.

Answer 3

My default (without anyway of changing this as far as I know) VS will expand all the projects like that on first opening of a solution and creation of the solution user options file. as ljubomir mentioned, the best thing to do is create something to collapse all the projects.

Answer 4

Re: something like PowerPack: DPack has a solution collapse option too, and it works with 2005.

I configure it to collapse "Top Items Only" because "All Projects and Files" works too slowly and flickery for me.
