If you add another project (menu File->Add->New[Existing] Project...), the
Solution will show. That is, if there is more than 1 project, Solution will
show. If you want the Solution node always show, go to menu
Tools->Options...->Environmet->Project and Solutions, then CHECK "Always
show solution".
