Visual Studio: Pinning Projects on Start Page

Posted Wed, Jun 30 2010 15:48 by Deborah Kurata

Visual Studio 2010 opens with a new start page:

One of the nice new features on the start page is the ability to pin projects so they will always appear in the Recent Projects list.

If I want to try out some code, I sometimes start up a new "test" project. If I do that too many times, the most recently used file list drops my most important projects. By pinning my important projects, I can ensure that they will always appear in the list.

To access this feature, hover over the project in the Recent Projects list on the left of the start page. The pin icon appears as shown below:

Click on the pin icon to pin the project to the start page. That project will always appear on the Recent Projects list. Click again to un-pin the project.

Enjoy!
