Visual Studio 2012 "Show All Files" button missing

Question

In my solution I have three projects: Console application, class library, and a website project. The Show All Files button is visible on the console and class library project, but soon as I click on the website project the button disappears.

I am running Visual Studio 2012.

I just got the same problem "Solution Explorer toolbar missing" eg. "Show all files". Here's what I did:

1. Right click your "Solution".
2. Select "New Solution Explorer View". This will pop-up a new "Solution Explorer" window with toolbars in it.
3. Close you original "Solution Explorer" window.
