Disable Visual Studio devenv solution save dialog

Question

When I open my solution by double click on solution file in a file manager, Visual Studio 2012 asks me whether I want to save devenv.sln:

How can I avoid this annoying thing? (except of opening vs first and than solution - I want just to click a solution file in my file manager).

Answer 1

As indicated here, you have to configure "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSEnv\vslauncher.exe" to run as Administrator.

1. Right-click C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSEnv\VSLauncher.exe
2. Select Properties
3. Click Compatibility
4. Set "Run this program as an administrator".

I also did the same for C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.

Answer 2

Another option, a bit less obvious, is to save the devenv.sln file to the Visual Studio IDE folder for that version of Visual Studio. This was an option described in the link noted above.

Probably not the best option, but it is an option none the less.
