Rick,

Thank you for your suggestion on creating a project for miscellaneous file. Makes sense.

>The best way to store miscellaneous files in a solutiuon IMHO is to add a new project to the solution and add all the files there. You can create folders and subfolders etc. in this project. Mark this project to not compile and you have a nice repository for solution related items.
>
>You should be able to add any files to a non-ASP.NET project as well. The C# or VB compilers will just ignore files with extensions they don't know about unless you mark them to be compiled in as resources.
>
>Web projects on the other hand are real finicky about what you can add althouygh a Word document should just be fine.

>>3. But when I come back from working with the Word document back to the VS 2005 Solution Explorer, the Miscellaneous File folder is not there.
