How can I open a Visual Studio solution without loading all of its projects?

问题

I have big solution in Visual Studio that has some Android, Windows Phone and iOS Xamarin projects. Unfortunately, Visual Studio hangs (for hours) when it tries to load the whole solution. It worked fine as long as I usually only loaded either the Android or the iOS project (and plug-in project), but not both at the same time.

Unfortunately, I changed it and now I can't load the solution anymore. I read that settings like these are stored in the .suo file, but I have no idea how I change it (and disable loading the Android projects for example). How can I close certain projects without doing this after the whole solution loaded?

Thank you!

You can open the sln file in notepad and just delete the projects you dont need. But to make sure you don't mess things up I would suggest making a backup of your sln file.
