Losing my solution : Visual Studio 2005 Professional does not show the solution by default

As we found out today, the default settings for Visual Studio 2005 Professional are to not show the solution by default. This means that as soon as you add a project to a blank solution, the solution disappears and you are unable to add another project.

This is easy to fix though:

Make sure that you have the option to “Always show solution” set in your IDE. To do this, goto tools->options->Projects and Solution and check the “Always show solution” option.

I don’t understand though, that this is a default setting… wo could possibly live in the Professional environment with only one project per solution?? For an express edition, I could imagine this to be useful.. but otherwise, No!
