multiple vs.net project files

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Why are there multiple project files for one project? There's one that seems
to be stored in documents and settings (windows xp) and like 2 in the
project itself. It doesn't seem to affect anything, only that I get
duplicate projects showing up on the Start Page, and each has its own memory
as far as what files I last had open. Any way to limit this nonsense to one
per project?

The "one that seems to be stored in documents and settings" is not a
project file, but a shortcut TO the project file.

Tricky question. You can actually slipt all the files around but by default
I have use VS.Net 2002, VS.Net 2003 and also VS.Net 2005 Beta1 it is not
happening to me.
