How to close file opened by Debugger automatically after debugging?

Question

Hi everyone, While debugging, whenever we step into a method, the file which defines that method will be opened and remains open after debug - this messed up my files in Visual Studio. I want to be able to close those opened-by-debugger files after the debug finished.

Let's say I'm opening 5 files already and start debugging. After the debug, I have 10+ files opened which means there are 5+ "new & strange" files opened by the debugger. I don't want them, and just want to close them quickly

Can I do this? Please help.

Answer 1

There used to be a option "Recycle Windows" in former versions of Visual studio, which only added one additional window for all debug windows. But apparently this has been removed.

Answer 2

I have an idea after a while: You can pin the tab (tab == file) using addon Visual Studio 2010 Productivity Power Tools. Then after the debug just right click tabs area and call "Remove all but pinned".
