copied!<p>I found a simple solution for my needs, which is based on a small batch script, that you'll have to click. It's not a shortcut so to say even though you can still create a shortcut of the batchfile.</p> <p>Here's the script:</p> <pre><code>CALL "%VS100COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Explorer\<GUIDofTFS>" /v "SceMostRecentPath" /d "$/<PathToTfsProject>" /f devenv /Command View.TfsSourceControlExplorer </code></pre> <p>In fact I combined 2 ideas found in separate sources:</p> <p><b>1. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2907614/automatically-open-source-control-explorer-when-visual-studio-starts-up">Start VS with Source Control Explorer</a></b></p> <p><b>2. <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/5b77a03b-ccc0-48ab-bb59-da98db231759/cannot-set-current-tfs-workspace-in-visual-studio-2010-programmatically" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Manipulate Registry to open Source Control Explorer in a specific path</a></b><br></p> <p>With the command <code>devenv /Command View.TfsSourceControlExplorer</code> you can actually start VS and automatically open Source Control Explorer. Unfortunately there is no way to give a parameter to point it directly to a location you wish. But I noticed that VS2010 seems to persist the last used path and reopens to that place on restarts. A quick research resulted in the registry entry </p> <blockquote> <p>HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Explorer\058104ed-f0e2-4126-9ccc-0e37e19c4f91\SceMostRecentPath</p> </blockquote> <p>By manipulating the value of <code>SceMostRecentPath</code> you can trick VS2010 to open Source Control Explorer with the path in there. Keep in mind: You will need to replace <code>058104ed-f0e2-4126-9ccc-0e37e19c4f91</code> with the GUID of your TFS Installation.</p> <p><br>Since we are all using VS 2010 but the installation paths differ, I implemented the path dynamically by making use of the VS100COMNTOOLS variable. First we set up the TFS command line environment: </p> <pre><code>CALL "%VS100COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86` </code></pre> <p>Then we change the registry:</p> <pre><code>REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Explorer\[PutYourTfsGUIDHere]" /v "SceMostRecentPath" /d "$/<YourTfsPath>" /f </code></pre> <p>Finally we do a simple call of devenv.exe with the source Explorer command:</p> <pre><code>devenv /Command View.TfsSourceControlExplorer </code></pre>
