It's common for me to have 20+ files opened in Visual Studio (I use VS 2008 now, but we will migrate to VS 2010, soon.). Is there any add-in which could help organize actively opened files?

Visual Studio Power tools will do it for 2010, out of luck for 2008 (as far as I know).

There are versions of Power tools for all the newer Visual Studios. Newest: VS Power tools 2015

You can have them color coded by assembly, most recently used up front, and several other sorting/grouping options
