    The behavior of auto-hide option in VS2008 differs from the one from VS2005. For example, in solution explorer i use auto-hide option and now i want to open 3 files one by one. When i click on the first file, it opens and takes focus (it is exactly like in VS2005), but solution explorer's window hides immediately after that. So i must click on the special button (or use shortcut) to open solution explorer at first and only then i can open next file. In VS2005 the window of solution explorer stayed visible but without input focus. Is there any way to setup VS2008 for this behavior? PS. I really hope i could explain the problem with my broken language :)

          Hi, I've also had problem with auto hide solution explorer in VS2008. Finally found the solution. Window > Reset Window Layout This will change Solution Explorer to auto hide.
