We often need to open Windows Explorer and browse to the current file, folder
or project that we are working on in Visual Studio. This tip (thanks to Daniel Flower) allows you to achieve
this by clicking "Windows Explorer" in the Tools menu, and is one of the most
simple, yet useful tips I know of.
Follow these steps to set it up:
In Visual Studio, click Tools, then External
Tools..., then click Add.
Now enter the following
data (shown in the screen shot as well):
Title: Windows Explorer
Command: explorer.exe
Arguments:
/select,"$(ItemPath)"
Leave Initial directoy blank, and click
OK. Now when you click Tools, Windows
Explorer, Windows Explorer will open with the current file you are
editing selected.
EnJoy!
