Does anyone know if there is a way to always make a certain tab appear at the top? I’d like to have solution explorer there.
I know I can pin and unpin until things get how I want them, but that can get messed-up with further pinning and unpinning.

- Pin Solution Explorer
- For each remaining tab: Pin it then drag it into the Solution Explorer tab so that it appears as a tab at the bottom of Solution Explorer.
- Order the tabs as you require at the bottom of Solution Explorer.
- Unpin and your tab order should be as you want.

Maybe a solution:
- Arrange your Tabs as you like
- Export your Settings through => Menu/ Tools / Settings Import and Export
After that is done you can always re-import the settings which will also reset the Window Layout with the given Settings.Also you can use the Function 'Reset Window Layout' (Menu/Window)
Does work on VS 2008 - 2012. And should work on 2013 too.
