Now if we go to Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General and uncheck "Always show solution":

I'm having this problem now. Only thing is, when I go to Tools | Option, I don't see an option for "Projects and Solutions". I am using VS2010 Professional.

I agree. I'm not a fan of this feature and don't know anyone that uses it. Maybe it will get deprecated in this latest version.

There is a button on the solution explorer toolbar that allows you to show all files including those that are not part of the project (button second from the left).
See which file you need and add in your project by Right + click select "Include in Project".
