How to open project folder from Visual Studio in Windows Explorer?

Unfortunately, this only works when a project node is selected, probably because solution folders aren't actually folders and therefore it cannot be guaranteed that they actually match a folder in the file system.


You can open some of Soluion Explorer's items (folders, projects, solutions) in File Explorer by it's right click menus subitem "Open Folder in File Explorer".
