Tool to view the contents of the Solution User Options file (.suo)

by

A bit late for the original poster, but maybe useful to others.

Two freeware viewers for structured storage files (including .suo-files):

https://github.com/ironfede/openmcdf (old URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmcdf/)

http://www.mitec.cz/ssv.html (free for non-commercial use)

When you open a .suo file in one of these viewers, you will see streams related to:

  • Bookmarks
  • Debugger watches
  • Unloaded projects
  • Outlining
  • Task-list user tasks
  • Debugger exceptions
  • Debugger Breakpoints
  • Debugger find source data
  • Open document windows

And much more…
