To add something to this  cause I found it while searching on this problem  and my solution involved slightly more      If you don t have a  Browse with     option for  aspx files  as I didn t in a MVC application   the easiest solution is to add a dummy HTML file  and right-click it to set the option as described in the answer  You can remove the file afterward   The option is actually set in  C  Documents and Settings user  Local Settings Application Data Microsoft VisualStudio version  browser xml  However  if you modify the file directly while VS is running  VS will overwrite it with your previous option on next run  Also  if you edit the default in VS you won t have to worry about getting the schema right  so the work-around dummy file is probably the easiest way
