Turning off automatic outlining in Visual Studio

Question

Can any one tell me how to turn off automatic outlining in Visual Studio? Outlining is the feature that collapses code into programmer defined regions.

In my opinion, there are precious few circumstances where outlining is useful. Yes, it makes large files easier to navigate, but mostly it obscures complexity. My preference would be to have this feature turned off by default when opening a source file.

Thanks,

Michael

Tools/Options/Text Editor/C#/Advanced

Clear the checkbox "Enter outlining mode when files open"

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Advanced -> Outlining.

For VS2008, it's under Tools – Options – Text Editor – C/C++ - Formatting - Enter outlining mode when files open.
