If you don't like seeing the solution file in Solution Explorer, you can easily hide it (or show it if you have it hidden). First, let's review what the default looks like with the solution file showing:
Visual Studio Search Solution
Now if we go to Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General and uncheck 'Always show solution':

Show Solution Explorer Visual Studio
Visual Studio Solution Explorer View
