Viewing the files in the solution folder
8.
Review the files in this folder and notice that they are not currently showing in the
Solution Explorer window. Solution Explorer shows only a minimum of files from a
solution or project folder, but we can change this by adding the file to the solution
as existing items. (Depending on your computer settings you may not see the
.suo
hidden file.)

Close Windows Explorer.
