seems like there are some hints to that effect here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4sadchd3.aspx – Igor Zevaka Aug 16 '10 at 12:05

@Igor yes I saw that page already but I cannot see what is available for what VS edition. – user375049 Aug 16 '10 at 12:12

Yeah, looks like an undocumented omission. – Igor Zevaka Aug 16 '10 at 12:22

1Can someone confirm or deny that it is available in 2012 express? That alone would make me upgrade to 2012 (EXPRESS). Thanks! – keyle Jun 20 '13 at 01:49

1@keyle, 2012 express is no good either. Would reccommend a plugin i think. – Jono Oct 08 '13 at 13:39

Neither navigate to or extensions are included in the express versions of visual studio.
However, I use an external file-search program and it works just as well (Maybe quicker?)
Launchy - which brings a text input to focus in Windows on a keystroke (with a few modified settings):
- I've changed the keystroke to
CTRL + , - Set the Catalog to my current source directory
- Set only my source file-types be searched
- Set the Include executables/directories to false
- Auto open delay to 10ms
- Check Hide Launchy when it loses focus
- And Rescan the catalog
Then I just make sure all my source files are set to open with visual studio and as long as they're in my solution, it'll open the file as if I navigated to it in the Solution Explorer.
Bonuses: Launchy uses a more fuzzy search than Navigate To, and doesn't bloat VS's already poor performance.
