Can the IDE be set to minimize on last window close

To save time I would like to have the Visual Studio Express IDE close if I close the last open window. This would take the IDE off the desktop until I open a file again. Also with the IDE already open it appears much faster. I couldn't find an option for that.

    Hi jadelise,

    I would think that what you are looking for falls under the "Visual Studio Extensibility". Another keyword is "EnvDTE".

    Unfortunately, it looks like there is no such thing for Visual Studio Express.

    Matteo,

    Thanks for the response, I couldn't find anything on it in the help.

    It would have been nice, the intellisense and syntax checking make the IDE quite attractive. Still for free one can't be to picky. It is a great piece of work overall.

    Thanks Again
