>>>Following the Jump Start Web Forms App C#, when I select to location after picking MM.NET Web Forms Template in C:\MM.NETJumpStart\ directory, I look under hood and find that all the files are there EXCEPT the .sln and .suo files got dropped in the VS default folder apparently: C:\Documents and Settings\edge\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\OrderSystemWebCSharp.

It created two (2) folders, one named OrderSystemWebCSharp, the second, in which it put the .sln and .suo files, OrderSystemWebCSharp(2). So apparently it wants to split the files out into two physically different locations? Is there any documentation on this Visual Studio? I have tried google and MS KB and come up with nada.

Hmmm, I don't usually deploy from this directory but maybe that is an option. I typically run the "Publish Website" from the build menu which will create another directory with all the files needed to be published. It is a bit un-intuitive to have your solution files placed in a sepeate folder somewhere else in the development root folder.
