    Hello, I've jumped from vs2003 to vs2008 which I like very much except one thing: If you have too much open tabs, visual studio cuts them down. For example you have 10 tabs but the tab bar only shows 8. I liked the way vs2003 scrolled them right and left (also firefox does). Now there isn't even a sign that shows you that you have opened more tabs than fit on your screen ... Is there any addon or setting (registry?) where I can get the left/right scrolling back? Also I dislike the "new windows become the first tab"-feature.

        I've noticed that but I don't like it because it does not indicate if I have more windows open than I can see and I liked to scrolling ...

          Actually it does. When more windows are open than can be displayed a little bar appears above the arrow.
