Is there a way to refresh VS 2013 Solution Explorer?
I modify files outside of VS, usually with Dream Weaver, but when I reopen VS Solution Explorer it remains unchanged.
The MS docs say there is/was a refresh button for VS 2010 but I cannot find it in VS 2013
Do you mean this refresh button?
If you can't find it, maybe your solution explorer pane is too narrow and the button is hidden? Note that it's only available in "Show All Files" mode (the button outlined in blue on the picture).

I am facing an issue my solution explorer window goes up and I don't know how to bring it back to the same place. I restart my visual studio several times. I have also tried to restore down and maximize the window but have not fixed it. Here is the image
Try restore down the VS window and then dock the toolbox
I like to display the results of the right-click > "Find All References" command of Visual Studio 2017 in a floating window and close the window when I'm done. However, every time I close the "references" window and then invoke "Find All References" again, the results are again docked to the bottom of the IDE. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
This works by default with Visual Studio 2019.
With visual Studio 2017 15.9.12 the behavior is like you describe and I see no way to change this.
I'm using VS 2010, 2012 & 2013.
Usually I don't want the IDE to auto-focus on the item in solution explorer but sometimes it's useful.
Is there any keyboard shortcut or a menu option to navigate to the file in solution explorer on demand?
Thanks :)
For VS 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017:
"Sync with Active Document" (default shortcut: Ctrl+[, S).
I know your question refers to 2010, 2012 & 2013, but VS 2017 has a button on the solution explorer to sync with active document:
Go to Tools/Options/Enviroment/keyboard look for View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer and assign the shortcut that you want.
Here I needed to remove the shortcut first, because the ctrl+shift+t was already assigned.
Of course, you can assign other shortcut.
When I right click in solution explorer then click the "Commit..." menu item, Svn commit window do not bring.
I can not see the commit window. If I click anywhere in visual studio I can hear show dialog sound. But I can not see commit window.
How can I solve this?
Setup:
AnkhSVN - Subversion Support for Visual Studio 2.3.10509.1073
Viusal studio 2010 and SP1 installed.
I have two monitor
This is so strange. I try to bring commit window again that right click in solution explorer then click the "Commit..." menu item.
Then I just use window + right arrow combination. Commit window appear again.
Thanks Bert Huijben
I accidentally deleted data tab in visual studio 2010 design mode. How can i bring it back??
You can retrieve any window under the View tab in VS, you're probably looking for the Solution Explorer
EDIT:
Right-click in your toolbox and select Show all or Reset toolbox
