I have Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 and Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 installed on my notebook.
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 does have a Resource View tab (see the snapshot below)
Visual Studio Community 2022 does not (see the snapshot below)
I was trying to do different actions, but nothing helped so far.
What I was trying:
Window-->Reset Window Layout
To push button Show All Files in the Solution explorer menu
Remove and install again Visual Studio Community 2022
is that how it's meant to be?
After clicking on any of .rc files the Resource View tab appears immediately (see the snap shot below)
Case closed.
Ctrl + Shift + E in solution explorer works according to this documentation:

Visual Studio Code has a nice feature that allows automatic expansion of currently selected tab group (called editors) once you select a document.
How this feature works can be seen in these release notes of VS Code.
Is there an extension to obtain the same effect in Visual Studio 2017 or 2019? I've asked something similar a while ago but never managed to develop the plugin.
You can look for all visual studio extensions on visual studio market place.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=toggle&target=VS&category=All%20categories&vsVersion=&sortBy=Relevance
I search there for an extension like you described but didn't found. So until today your answer is no.
I do have a TFS Project (TFS 2013) and I would like to set up my Visual Studio 2015 to work at that project. I have Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015 installed. Now whenever I go to the main page of my Project and click "Open in Visual Studio" (like described here), Visual Studio 2017 opens. I would like to have it open in VSTO 2015. How can I select which version of Visual Studio should open?
The solution file should contain a UTF-8 signature that describes in which version the solution is to be opened. This is what's used for example to show different icons for solution files targeting different Visual Studio versions.
This signature info is also used by the Visual Studio Version Selector when opening a solution. An easy way to fix this is make sure that have the solution local on your dev machine and then right click -> open with and choose the Visual Studio Version Selector. Then pick the correct version of Visual Studio that you want to use.
This will then be honored by your browser when opening a solution since this also uses the Visual Studio Version Selector.
Steps
Clone a github repository from the github website.
Choose Open in Visual Studio
Answer Yes to 'Did you mean to switch applications'
Expected result:
Opens in Visual Studio 2017
Actual result:
Opens in Visual Studio 2015
Context:
Windows 10 anniversary edition
Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 installed in that order
Tested in Edge
Check your default programs. Maybe it's set to open everything Visual Studio 2015? For checking this you have two ways:
Inside Windows 10 go to Settings > System > Default Apps and check if Visual Studio 2015 is set to open any project by default.
Go to Control Panel (Make sure it's not set on Category view) > Default programs > Set Default Programs
This should work, I didn't try it but if it helps, great.
Now using Visual Studio version 2017.3.5 and this issue is resolved.
Is there a reason why the references count (code lens) is missing in Visual Studio Community edition?
Is is possible to enable it in the options?
Here is a screenshot of Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 Community edition:
Here is a screenshot of Visual Studio 2013:

I installed the latest SSDT preview for Visual Studio 2015 from the link below on 2 machines I have with VS 2015 Community edition (Update 1), and CodeLens started working for all my projects.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt204009.aspx
This isn't a generic reference counting feature, it's just one of the features of CodeLens. CodeLens is only available in Visual Studio 2015 Pro and above. In Visual Studio 2013 it was a Ultimate-only feature.
UPDATE
As others have noted, installing SSDT or SSMS 2016 may enable CodeLens as well. That's because VS 2015 Community is Pro, with a different license and some missing extensions like CodeLens. As long as an extension's binaries and settings are installed, Community will activate the extension.
UPDATE 2019
"CodeLens has been a feature found only in Visual Studio Enterprise, but that will change in an upcoming preview of Visual Studio 2019, when it will also be available for the Community edition, likely in 2019"
What's New in Visual Studio 2019
I have Visual Studio 2015 Community edition and it originally did NOT have CodeLens.
However, after going to Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Product Updates and then downloading SSDT and installing all options within the SSDT package, my VS 2015 Community Edition now miraculously has access to CodeLens.
On the Tools tab choose Options.
In the open window choose like bellow, and then press ok.
Good Luck!!!
This feature has been disabled in Visual Studio Community 2017, although it sounds like it was temporarily available in pre-release versions.
The Visual Studio Team issued this statement on the 14th of March 2017:
An authoring error in the SQL Server Data Tools resulted in the
capability temporarily showing up incorrectly in Visual Studio
Community when installed; the change you see is a result of correcting
that mistake.
Also, on the Compare Visual Studio 2017 Offerings page CodeLens appears to not be available in the Community edition.
I'm not allowed to Comment on R. Richards answer above, so posting this as a separate answer: CodeLens references disappeared for me too when I upgraded my VS Pro to 2017. But only on my Desktop ("same" upgrade behaved differently on my laptop, where CodeLens settings apparently unaffected). Anyway, very easy to resolve just Enable CodeLens under Text Editor : All Languages
An alternative is to just right-click the member and select 'Find All References' or the hot key shift + F12*. Not only you will find the count of references grouped by project, but also the underlying code lines and their classes.
* As per Visual Studio 2017 Community.
I have Visual Studio 2013 Premium and 2012 Premium installed. I get email notifications for code reviews in TFS. These notifications include a link to open the reviews, with display text "Open Changes and Comments in Visual Studio". The link location starts with
vstfs://codereview/...
When I click the links, the code reviews are opened in Visual Studio 2012.
How can I make Visual Studio 2013 handle the code review email links instead of Visual Studio 2012? I would like for them to be opened in Visual Studio 2013, instead.
Open "default apps" on Window,
Select "Choose default apps by protocol" and scroll until you see "VSTFS"
Select "Microsoft Visual Studio Web Protocol Handler Selector" and test the options.
Open your registry and modify the path to devenv.exe defined in the key HKCR\vstfs\Shell\Open\Command\(Default)
I repaired my Visual Studio 2013 installation and changed all of the filetypes associated with Visual Studio 2012 to be associated with 2013 in the Default Programs tool, and then restarted my PC. The problem is now resolved, but I don't know what fixed it; my guess is the 2013 repair.
