I am looking for an add-in that allows my to right click on a file in
the Solution Explorer, and it would open the Explorer window where this
file lives.

I want that functionality and just that (my vs.ide is bloated enough as
it is). Can't seem to find it.

Thanks
 
couldnt you just right click the file > properties, copy the "Full
Path" and paste in explorer?
 
Add a new external tool to the IDE with following properties:

Name: Windows Explorer
Command: explorer.exe
Arguments: /e,$(ItemDir)

Now you can select an item of your project and select "Windows Explorer"
from the Tools menu. Enjoy :)

Click to expand...
I think you are missing the point of the of an Add-in: that is to make
my life easier, reduce mouse clicks and keyboard action.
 
Has been like that since my first encounter with Windows so many years ago.
By the way Google is my friend :)

Google Schmoogle. If searching with generic terms such as the word
'arguement' nothing can be found unless it is a stroke of luck or somebody
responds with a referral to a document. Thanks Jason.
