Where does Visual Studio store the bookmarks and what format are they stored in?

Question

I want to get at the stored bookmarks file (or file section, if the bookmarks are stored in a file along with other stuff).

The bookmarks are stored in the solution's SUO file. It also contains other "per developer" settings

Its binary format, so I don't think you could export them easily, unless you just copy the entire SUO with all the other settings

Thanks surfen!. Too bad it is binary. I was expecting a simple XML file. – Mig Mar 30 '12 at 15:03
