I just started trying out MSVC-2010 seriously, and discovered 2 critical toolbar buttons I always used are missing: The back and forward navigation buttons, which were present in MSVC 2003 through 2008. These jump back (or forward) through the sequence of locations observed in the code recently. Can anyone tell me how to get these buttons back?
Here are the product miscellanea:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.0.30319 RTMRel
Installed Version: VC Express
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 01013-532-2002287-70195
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
In Visual C++ 2010 Express, you can restore these and many other menu and toolbar commands by selecting Tools->Settings->Expert Settings.
Apparently only experts want to navigate through their code :-)
I see them on the Standard Toolbar:
If for some reason yours have fallen off, you can put them back using Customize. The commands are under Navigate. They are also on the View Menu (Navigate Backwards and Navigate Forwards) and have keyboard shortcuts which are listed on the View Menu.

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac, Version 8.10.19 (build 2). Sometimes, and only sometimes, I'll try to click on something in the C# editor, and a popup will appear under my mouse, which prevents the click from registering. Is there any way to turn off these popups? I've included a gif that demonstrates the behavior.
I'm trying to make a C# application and I need the server explorer but I can't find it when I click on View menu. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015. Is it disabled or did I do something wrong?
If it is missing you can modify your View menu using the following instructions:
Open Visual Studio
Go to Tools > Customize...
Click the Commands tab
Select View from the Menu Bar dropdown (make sure the Menu Bar radio button is selected)
Scroll down the menu window until you see Solution Explorer and select it.
Click the Add Command... button
Scroll down the Categories list and select View
Scroll down the resulting Commands list and select Server Explorer
Click the OK button
The Bad
If you double click on the solution (SLN) file, the result is this.
If you close the solution, the result is this.
The Good
If you close Visual Studio 2015, and then just run it without opening any solution, the result is this.
The Ugly
Click on File,
Open,
Project/Solution,
Browse to your solution's folder,
Select the solution file,
Click the Open button.
There you go! You will now find it under the View menu. I have a screenshot to prove it.

Just a little something for posterity.

Firstly, I installed the DevExpress 13.2.5 version. After that, I installed Visual Studio Community 2013 edition. But I cannot see the DevExpress menu item in the Visual Studio IDE menu. How can I bring the DevExpress menu item?
I suggest you to go through the below DevExpress Knowledge Base thread:
How to resolve issues with Toolbox items
There is an alternate by manually adding them by creating a new DevExpress Toolbox Tab and dragging all the DLLs from DevExpress installation folder in Program Files. check the steps here - How to use DevExpress components with Express versions of Visual Studio
Hint from: No Toolbox created on Visual Studio 2013
If nothing work for you then as you said Visual Studio 2013 was installed after DevExpress components. In this case, the simplest way to add our controls to the toolbox is to reinstall them. Alternatively, you can select the "Repair" option.
Hope this help..
In Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 you used to be able to mouse over the toolbar and a tooltip would pop up showing the associated shortcut key if you turned on the feature. This feature seems to be missing in VS 2010.
Method to configure this feature in 2005 and 2008: Display keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio context menus
Suzanne Hanson from Microsoft indicated in a post that for 2010, this feature would not be configurable and would be turned on by default. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/489554/toolbar-icons-tool-tips-missing-shortcut-hint.
Does anyone have this feature turned on? Could it just be that my Visual Studio Version is out-dated? (Help -> About reports Visual Studio 2010 v. 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel)
The tooltips are there by default (at least in my version Visual Studio 2010 v. 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel). If you don't see them, try repairing/reinstalling. That fixed it for me.
I upgraded from VS 2008 to VS 2010 but the menu bar has not displayed. That only displays when I press the "Alt" key. I refered the question in following link: Missing Menu Bar in Visual Studio 2010 and performed as follows the instructions but no success.
Does anybody give me some instructions?
VS 2010 RTM out of the box does not have a feature to hide the main menu. There is an extension that hides the menu bar; did you install that? If so, uninstalling it from the extension manager will restore the default behavior.
