Is there a way to "Turn off" solution folders?

We have a large solution with 86 projects. Everything is divided up into "solution folders". I find it rather difficult to find what I'm looking for. Is there a way to turn off solution folders just for me without affecting anyone else using the solution?

Have you considered navigating to a file by keyboard?

Visual Assist has an "Open file in solution" dialog which very convenient due to instant search. If you don't have VAssist (which you really should) I believe the free DPack has some equivalent.

If you need to perform file-specific operations in the solution tree, you can bind this macro to a key and execute it after opening a file:

DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer")
DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer")
DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer).Activate()

This will track your file in the solution tree and focus on it.

No, there isn't, not directly.

You could probably write a macro that clears them out of the solution file, just for you, however.
