    Some how I have lost the Solution Explorer on the upper right of my screen.   How do I reset VS 2015 to the default so I can see Solution Explorer and Properties on the upper right side of the screen?

    OK, I get it but how do I make it appear on the upper right of my panel where I can select the members to work with?

    If you have the Solution Explorer undocked, then you can dock it to upper Right side of Visual studio. 

    • Right Click on Solution Explorer Header
    • Drag the window toward the middle of the IDE.
    • When the window reaches the location where you want to dock it, move the pointer over the corresponding portion of the guide diamond. The designated area is shaded.
    • To dock the window in the position indicated, release the mouse button.

    Click the "View" drop down menu and select "Solution Explorer".

    You can use the Shortcut key to display View menu in Visual Studio. Try using this command on Visual Studio => Ctrl + Alt + L
