title: Why don't tabs open automatically when I reopen my solution?
body: <p>I have an <a href="http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4" rel="noreferrer">ASP.NET MVC4</a> application solution (.sln). When I close Visual Studio and then reopen it and my solution, my tabs and my navigation structure in the solution explorer do not restore to the way they were.</p>
  
  <p>The solution is big and it takes me a long time to reopen many tabs and open lots of folders in the solution explorer.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an option in VS that would allow me to restore the solution to where it was when I left it?</p>
  
  <p>I've already done "Reset all settings" in the Import and Export Settings Wizard, but it didn't help.</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried booting VS in <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx" rel="noreferrer">/SafeMode</a> which disables any extensions. No difference.</p>
  
  <p>Searching around I can't see anyone have similar issues.</p>
