Visual Studio Solution Explorer Position

Does anyone know if there is a way to always make a certain tab appear at the top? I’d like to have solution explorer there.

I know I can pin and unpin until things get how I want them, but that can get messed-up with further pinning and unpinning.

  1. Pin Solution Explorer
  2. For each remaining tab: Pin it then drag it into the Solution Explorer tab so that it appears as a tab at the bottom of Solution Explorer.
  3. Order the tabs as you require at the bottom of Solution Explorer.
  4. Unpin and your tab order should be as you want.

Maybe a solution:

  1. Arrange your Tabs as you like
  2. Export your Settings through => Menu/ Tools / Settings Import and Export

After that is done you can always re-import the settings which will also reset the Window Layout with the given Settings. Also you can use the Function "Reset Window Layout" (Menu/Window)

Does work on VS 2008 - 2012. And should work on 2013 too.
