Multiple instances of solution explorer in Visual Studio 2010

I have UltraMon installed and quite like it but I would also find it a much better experience if I could also have another instance of Solution Explorer open in the second monitor open on the assembly/namespace/project I have open in that monitor.

However Solution Explorer seems to be Singleton component. Any workarounds?

Install the Productivity Power Tools to use "Solution Navigator" which can have multiple instances – think of it as a prototype for the VS11 Solution Explorer (which also has multiple instances)

(Additional) To open a new instance use the first button on the Solution Navigator toolbar:

You can't open second 'Solution Explorer'. Its a 'named' singleton.
