In Visual Studio 2010, is there a way to keep recently-used files from falling off the File Tab Channel?

In Visual Studio 2008 you could use Sara Ford's did you know #331 (Did you know… You can keep recently-used files from falling off the File Tab Channel? - #331) to mak开发者_JS百科e the tabs ordered in MRU (most recently used) order (i.e. the current window is always the left most tab, the previously visited window is second tab, and so forth).

The registry entry listed in the blog post does not appear to work in VS2010 and I have not figured out a way to get tabs listed in MRU. Does anyone know if there is a way in Visual Studio 2010 to keep the most recently-used file from falling off the File Tab Channel?

In the "Productivity Power Tools" extension, the Remove Tabs By Usage Order option seems to be what you are looking for.

Try installing the "Productivity Power Tools" extension - you can disable any other features that you don't use, but the customisation of the tab well is very useful. I don't think it does MRU order, but there are a number of other options that might help.

Another solution, if you are using Windows 7, would be to pin VS2010 to the task bar and then pin them to the programme tasks bar within that through drag and drop for instance.
