Arranging and securing a Visual Basic IDE workspace in VS 2019

I'm running Visual Studio 2019 to develop Visual Basic desktop applications.
None of the help windows show me how to arrange the IDE and fix it in place.
If there is documentation or a tutorial on this, I can't find it.
Attached is a screen snip of the arrangement I'd like to use,
with a large pane on the left for code, form view, and project parameters
and the Solution Explorer and Properties panes on the right.
Would appreciate a pointer on how to corral this IDE.

Hi RonSipherd,

You can refer to this workaround to customize your windows layout: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/customizing-window-layouts-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2019#dock-windows

Thanks! I'll take a look.

BTW, that documentation on e-mail notifications (which evidently can't be commented on) appears to have an error:

Your profile in Microsoft Q&A is the same than docs.microsoft.com and Microsoft Learn. Therefore, if you want to get notifications, ...

I believe that should be "Your profile in Microsoft Q&A is not the same as in docs.microsoft.com and Microsoft Learn."

Yes, thanks, that page had the answer I needed.
Also I should mention the lifesaver menu combo
Windows | Reset Window Layout
which gave me back a layout pretty close to to what I wanted.
I made a couple small tweaks and saved the layout in case of need.
