I'm trying to figure out how to open a default Solution in SSMS. I have all my scripts saved into multiple projects and those are in a single solution. I just want that solution to open automatically when I start up SSMS every time.
I know I've done it in the past but can't seem to find anything on Google about how I did it. I seem to remember something about changing the shortcut to open the solution but can't seem to figure it out.
Any help is appreciated.

Double click the solution file to open it in SSMS?

I'm trying to get SSMS to "automatically" open the solution every time I click the icon. If there is no other way then I suppose I could just create a shortcut to the solution file and just open it.

I don't know for sure. I have never tried to do that because I would find it incredibly annoying. You could also change the shortcut to ssms.exe to include any number arguments. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162825.aspx
