I’m trying to change Visual Studio to open my code instead of designer by default. This question tells me to right click on a file and go to “Open With…”

However, when I try to right click on a file in my solution explorer I have no “Open With…” option. I’m not sure if this is caused by an extension (I have the CodeRush Xpress, VSCommands, Productivity Power tools, and VCS tools for SVN, Git, and Hg), or what, but I would like to be able to configure what my files open with.

Where do I need to go to either get the menu option back or change these settings?

    The context menu can be modified. If you haven’t heavily customized your command bars and menus then a full reset is wise. Tools + Import/Export, “Reset all settings” radio button.

    Or fix the context menu. Tools + Customize, Commands tab, click the “Context menu” radio button. Select the “Project and Solution Context Menu | Item” option from the combobox. Click the Add Command button.
