One option is to bind 'View.TrackActivityInSolutionExplorer' to a keyboard short-cut, which is the same as Tools → Options → Projects and Solutions → Track Active Item in Solution Explorer'<br/>
<br/>
If you activate the short-cut twice the file is selected in the solution explorer, and the tracking is disabled again.<br/>

There is now a feature built in to the Visual Studio 2013 Solution Explorer called Sync with Active Document. The icon is two arrows in the solution explorer, and has the hotkey Ctrl + [, S to show the current document in the solution explorer. Does not enable the automatic setting mentioned above, and only happens once.<br/>
<br/>
This icon was then subsequently dropped again in VS 2019 and 2022.</t>
