Visual Studio 2008 does not show Solution view when there is only one project in the Solution (by default)

Visual Studio 2008 does not show Solution view when there is only one project in the Solution by default, which makes it difficult to add another project to the solution. This persists even when we add a new (blank) solution. The solution is to go to Tools>Options>Projects and Solutions and check "Always Show Solution" (which is unchecked by default).

 Enjoy!
