tabbed documents order in VS 2005



tabbed documents order in VS 2005 Ed White

visual studio .net ide: Admittingly a minor issue, although an annoying one...I started using VS 2005
a few months ago, upgrading from the prior most recent version called VS .Net
(which I believe is now referred to as VS 2003). I have my IDE set up for
tabbed documents. In VS 2003, when I open a new document, the new tab for
the document appears on the right side of the tabs list (near the top of the
screen), but in VS 2005 a new document's tab starts on the left side of the
tabs list. Frankly, I liked it the way it was before (new tabs on the
right). Is there an option in VS 2005 to change this?

Thanks...that blog pretty much tells the story. Count me in as among those
who "hate" the new way. It constantly re-arranges the tabs for the open
documents every time I open or close documents. I hope they include an
option to change this in the next version.

This is an example of my biggest complaint about Microsoft. They implement a
feature that maybe a few people have asked for, but they make it the default
in the new release.

Every time I install a new version of Word I have to go turn off all the
whiz-bang features that have been added since WinWord 2.0

This feature should be turn-off-able and the install/upgrade process should
ask the user whether or not to activate the new features.

At least VS2002/2003 had the ability to select an environment like the
