Answer 1

that is indeed missing in the express edition.

seems like there are some hints to that effect here msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4sadchd3.aspx – Capelin

@Igor yes I saw that page already but I cannot see what is available for what VS edition. – Agoraphobia

Yeah, looks like an undocumented omission. – Capelin

Can someone confirm or deny that it is available in 2012 express? That alone would make me upgrade to 2012 (EXPRESS). Thanks! – Rubetta

@keyle, 2012 express is no good either. Would reccommend a plugin i think. – Debris

@keyle, see my solution if you're still struggling a year later :D – Debris

Answer 2

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.
