You just saved me a ton of headache. I knew about the "Open Folder in Windows Explorer" item in the VS 2008 Solution Explorer, but this one is in VS 2005 too and I've always wondered if it was there but just didn't know where it was.

Thanks!

Open Containing Folder

Sara Ford writes about the "Open Containing Folder" command in Visual Studio. I use that sometimes

Something i learned today is that the command for this is File.OpenContainingFolder. So you can bind it to a command and invoke that command's keyboard shortcut whenever focus is on the editor.

This is great! One limitation: even though the menu item is present on setup projects (e.g., when looking at a file system view), it doesn't work. A clue to why is to see what the equally useless "Copy Full Path" does on a setup view.

Знаете ли вы, что… №126: Можете открыть Windows Explorer напрямую из текущего файла?

Щелкните правой кнопкой на закладке файла и выберите Open Containing Folder (Открыть содержащую папку)
