Don't want design mode

I think this is where I should post this question...

When I double click on my FormName.cs in the workspace window, I would like to default to 'view code'. Where can I find the option to set it as such? I need designer mode much less often than I need source mode.And yes I know I can right click to view code, and I can use the tabs to go to what ever I have open, but I double click more often out of habit and the tabs are in almost a random order.

Thank you.

Right click the FormName.cs in solution explorer, select Open With... . In the dialog that appears select CSharp Editor (or Microsoft Visual Basic Editor) and press Set as Default and then OK.

Thank you very much. Sorry I didn't realize that on my own.

In VS 2008, I've managed to set the default to source mode, but I haven't found that in VS 2005. Is it possible?
