Change layout with vertical tabs

- [Instructor] Tabs have traditionally gone across the top of window applications and Visual Studio defaults to that. But there are ways of changing the location of the tabs. All you need to do is right click on any of these tabs and choose set tab layout. You might prefer the tabs to be on the right side, or my preference is to put them on the left side like this. Now, I prefer this for several reasons, especially when I'm working in lots of documents. I think I can see more space for lots of tabs in this configuration than I can in the traditional way, which is to put them in the top and then rely on this overflow button here.
