Find multiple files in solution explorer

I constantly work with large projects containing 100s of files and would like the ability to filter by multiple files so my solution explorer only shows those files.

For example: web.config,File1.cs,File1.js,Global.asax...

This way I can easily navigate back and forth in the solution explorer.

You can try my Favorite Documents extension. It allows you to quickly open chosen files or jump to them in Solution Explorer.

Are you allowed to alter the solution itself?

If so, right click the solution, Add New Solution Folder, name it something you'll recognize, then do Add Existing Item operation(s) to put in the files you'd like to see.

There is no requirement for a file to be in only one folder.

Do this multiple times and collapse the solution folders you're not working with at the time. You can even create a multi-level hierarchy if you want to organize a lot of them.

Is the problem somehow more complex than this, and I'm missing a point?
