The primary reason for asking how to do this is because I personally never use it. The Designer is slow to load… especially on complex pages with lots of controls. To put it bluntly, I think of it as a crutch that web developers should avoid.

    -> HTML Designer

    The first groupbox is “Start pages in”. Setting it to Source View should accomplish what you are looking for within VS.
