CoolCommands 3.0 for Visual Studio 2005
In a large Visual Studio solution with lots of projects, it's sometimes useful to turn on "track active item in solution explorer". (this causes the current file to be found and selected in solution explorer as you view different files).
This can sometimes be disconcerting, because it expands various project trees accordingly to show you the current file. I wanted to turn this OFF today, but I was then thinking of the holy grail where I *occassionally* want to find where a given file is in the solution explorer.
Enter Gaston Milano's Cool Commands.

In addition to "track current item on demand", some highlights of other things that Cool Commands does:

- open containing folder for a file in solution explorer
- "copy reference" over to another project in a solution
- add projects from folder
