.suo remain visible

[Zaph-0]

Hi,

how can I force the .suo file visual studio creates to stay visible ?

Thanks

Not sure.

Out of curiosity, why do you need it to be visible?

I want it to stay visible because its really annoying when I archive my files and I always get the popup about the hidden file.

Can you set a filter to the archive operation that excludes the *.suo files?

Or, can you write a batch file that deletes the *.suo files before archiving?

Understand that *.suo files get regenerated when you open a sln or project so you don't need to keep them around.
