    For some reason, every time I start the VS.NET 2003 IDE by double-clicking a solution (or through a shortcut to a solution), the favorites window is opens as well. I didn't have the favorites open the last time I ran the IDE, and I didn't have the window open the last time I opened the solution. This happens with any solution I open this way. I've tried deleting the .SUO file (solution options). There don't appear to be any registry settings obviously related to this behavior. The VSTweak PowerToy doesn't offer any help. It's annoying to have to constantly close the stupid thing. Any suggestions?

        Unfortunately, that doesn't quite do it. When I open Studio with an empty environment, the Favorites window doesn't open. It's only when I open Studio via a solution file that the Favorites window opens automatically.
