Including relative paths into VS-Project

In order to structure my code I'm using different folder for my source and header files. Unfortunately, the builder would not find the included headers and output following error:

fatal error C1083: Include-File cannot be opened: 'util.h': No such file or directory

I want the compiler to look for the path relative to the project folder but it seems that he is only looking in the folder of the source to be compiled. I thought the project folder was default for looking for headers...
Any ideas how to fix this? I dont want to copy all files in the same folder and change the includes because I imported the code from another project whose compiler (gcc) can handle the folder structure.

You will need o set the project include directories to include the relevent folders. This will have been done in gcc somewhere too (in a make file most likely).

Any compiler that is not supplied with additional include directories is only going to look in the current directory and it's standard include directory.
