Windows 7 recent files integration for Visual Studio 2008
-
VS 2008 doesnt have any special support for Win7 so Win7 can only go by what it sees, and it sees the files being opened. VS 2010 does have special support and tells Win7 the solution files are important.
But he wasn't asking about VS2010.

How do I get win7 to offer me recently opened solutions on the jumplist that appears when I click it on the startmenu. I currently have a single source file showing on that list, and no idea why windows thinks that is it special.

Change the file association for .sln to the vs2008 devenv.exe rather than the default vslauncher.exe. Look in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\Shell\Open\Command

What am I supposed to create here? My keys don't go that deep, all i have is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher._sln]
"NoOpen"=""
@="Microsoft Visual Studio Solution"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher._sln\DefaultIcon]
@="c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\MSEnv\\VSFileHandler.dll,-200"3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

This .reg script should do the trick
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\Common7\\IDE\\devenv.exe\" \"%1\"" -

I have all of my recently opened solutions available. Also, jump list refers to the menu that is displayed when the app is on the taskbar. The menu displayed from the start menu has been around for a while, its not unique to Windows 7

Does this need a restart to work? Even after fixing it to program files (x86) I'm still seeing the one random .cs file and an equally random app.config file on the menu.

It seems to keep the previous associations until they fall off the MRU. Once you've opened 10 solutions, the cs and config files should be gone.

ahhh, now I see. :cool: I was expecting it to access the recent projects list on the VS start page.

Yeah, it's a common problem, the jumplists are maintained separately. It's the same in Office 2010 and VS2010.
