2.0 Whidbey/VS2005 IDE Related question

Okay so this is driving me bannanas.

I have a solution that contains two projects

a) Website
b) WebControlLibrary.

Anytime I change something in the webcontrollibrary, I wish to hit F5, and
see the results. However, whidbey tries to be a smart alec and changes my
startup project to be the class library (WebControlLibrary), because that is
the file I had in focus. So, basically the IDE forces me to take my hands
off the keyboard, go to the mouse, open some heavy form in the website
project and THEN hit F5 (Why oh why!!).

This is hella irritating. Is there a way to turn this stupid *feature* off?

You can report bugs at
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/Produc...ug/search.aspx. I'd
classify this problem as a bug, although it's possible it's by design. The
product feedback centre on MSDN is really useful.
