Nothing in Visual Studio really provides a convenient and fast method of opening a file in the global Include and Source directories (say, AFX.H), short of directly navigating to them (and once again, having to know their exact location). The Global File Open command provides incremental matching of any file in the global include and source directories. Built using the same mechanism as the Workspace File Open command, the Global File Open command can take advantage of any feature provided by Workspace File Open, such as being unnecessary to type symbols, such as underscores. This leads to an efficient method of finding and opening any desired file, without regard to location.
