>When I add a project to a solution and name the project, say "MyCompany.DataAccess", Visual Studio 2005 creates a physical folder named MyCompany.DataAccess. The folder is created as a subfolder of my solution folder. I see no way to change the name of this folder. I would like the folder name to be something simpler, for example, DataAccess. But I see no options when creating/adding the project to set the folder name. I can specify where the project/folder will be placed (parent folder) but not the name of the folder itself. Strange though, as when I am reviewing a solution from a book I am reading, the author has a project named "HisCompany.DataAccess" but the folder name is DataAccess.

When I add a new project in VS (2008 in my case) I have Name and Location - I can specify both.
However, I can only add a new project to a solution through the menu File/Add/New Project. I don't have a way to do this through the right click menu - something is wrong here...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
