Hello,

Is it possible to configure VS2003 to display the solution name in the
taskbar instead of "project - filename"?

I usually have multiple solutions open that share some projects, and it
is hard to differentiate between the solutions in the taskbar.

Thanks,
Mike.

Not directly, you would need an add-in or macro and maybe some Win32 API
call to change the caption (I am not sure if DTE.MainWindow.Caption is
writable).
