Did you try View/"Solution Explorer" from the menu? or Ctrl+ALT+L

Next time you lose a window like this you can do the following: Press
Ctrl+Tab or Alt+F7 and then use the arrow keys to select the desired window.
You still won't be able to see it but it'll have focus. Then press Alt+-
(hyphen/minus/dash/whatever you like to call it) and then M. Now move your
mouse....

? confused ? with the solution.

Apparently he had resized the Solution Explorer to be very short and near
the bottom of the window. He also had his IDE partially hidden by the task
bar, and this was preventing him from seeing the very tiny Solution
Explorer.

This is why I A) always run the IDE maximized and B) set my task bar to
Auto-Hide.
