Stop VS from opening every file you touch!

Man, is it annoying when VS opens every single file you touch (just click it!) in the Solution Explorer? I’ve been irritated by VS opening a file just because you click it. I want it to be opened only when you want it to open. I other words I want it to open when double-clicked.

This can be changed in: Tools – Options – Environment – Tabs and Windows – Preview Tab (see screenshot).

Just uncheck the Preview Tab and you are good to go.
