"Unload Project" action on "Source Explorer" deadlocks vstudio #77

I wasn't sure where they "Source Explorer" in my sln was coming from. I suspected it of killing performance of Solution Explorer's filter box feature (which is very nice!).

I tried to "Unload Project" on it, and visual studio went into a tailspin.

I eventually found out that you can disable this special project, that is synthesized by vs-chromium, in Tools > Options. It would be nice to toggle the preference upon "Unload Project". And possibly present a message box that this preference is being disabled, and where it can be turned back on.

I neglected to report that immediately after doing this visual studio responds with: The operation could not be completed. The parameter is incorrect. Also, I am mistaken, this does eventually complete, no the process is not deadlocked. Apologies
