I would like to see all files or documents I've opened in Visual Studio. I do not want them to be auto hidden or hidden on overflow.

How can I achieve it?

One of the built-in option to do so: use pinned tabs. http://dailydotnettips.com/2016/01/21/persevering-and-separating-the-pinned-tabs-in-visual-studio/

If you don't want to read a external page just for setting:

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row

It's not completely what you want, but it's free and may be useful.
