Custom Start Page that makes it easier to open your solutions when they don't appear in the recent list
Download

The Start Page will automatically list all your solution files from specified locations (tab for each location) and display them. That way you don't have to browse the file system looking for solutions again.

 

To configure your directories click the 'Configure' under the default 'Open Project...' button. Type an alias in the textbox and click add, you will then be asked for the directory for this alias. Reorder your tabs by selecting the row in the listbox and then click the up and down arrows to move the tab around. You can also remove the tab by pressing 'x' button. When done click 'update tabs'. You will now have to restart Visual Studio to see the changes.

 

When the QuickSolutions Start page is selected as your start page you should see a configure button like below
