VS.NET Annoying Default Path of Project Files

Hi Everybody

Is there any way to avoid a Visual Studio 2005 Folder from continually
reappearing in "My Documents" folder after I have changed the project/
soloution paths to a different folder on a different drive?

Regards Bob

Thanks for the reply but I have done that.

Everytime I close and open VS.NET it produces the empty folders in My
Documents

Hi,

You can try to go over all the options to find a path mentioning the files
that are being automatically created.

It's an obvious answer but I hope this helps,

Hi,

I recommend leaving those folders exactly where they are, especially if
you don't want grief when you move to Vista.

It's under "My Documents" because that's the re-directable "User Shell
Folder" that is synonymous with your %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATT% environment
variable. It also means it will get backed up with the rest of your
documents, regardless of whether you're on a local drive or network. It
will also survive a server migration.

If you want to take your projects out of the tree, you may be better off
with the PSDK and a MAKEFILE. Visual Studio is an IDE, it's designed to
be user friendly.
