Tip: Mouse back and forward work in Visual Studio 2005 too

You know how you can use the extra mouse buttons to move back and forward in Internet Explorer?

The same shortcuts work in Visual Studio. Suppose you right-click on a function call, and select Go To Definition. Once you’re done looking at the definition, hit the back button on your mouse: You’re taken right back to where you came from!

(The keyboard equivalents are Ctrl+ – and Ctrl+Shift+ -)

    Should it work in VS Express 2008? Recently I’ve bought a super-duper mouse but the way described works only for old buggy BDS. Or is it some premium VS feature maybe ?
