Hi Stan,
From your description, you found that you can't add exising files into a
certain web project and recieved the following error:
"The folder
http://localhost/FinWeb is no longer availabe"
if try adding a file , yes?
When does the problem occur on this web project(FinWeb) ? Have you done any
particular changes on it which may cause the problem?
Also, is it ok to add a new item ( page or source file) into the project?
Generally, the problem is likely due to the Virutal Folder in the IIS is
corrupted. Since the VS.NET will use Frontpage server extension or File
Shared to create a virutal folder in IIS, if something of those setting is
corrupted, we may get error when do file manipulating on the folder. In
addition to using a new created Folder(Project) , I think you can still try
removeing the corrupted folder from IIS (be sure to remove clearly) and
create it again, if still has problem I'm afriad we have to use a new
Virutal Dir instead.

Steven Cheng
