>>Hi,

>>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.

It is the same in VS 2005. And as I asked in my initial message, the folder created for the new project is the same as the Name of the project.

If you right-mouse click on the solution you should be able to see Add -> Add Project. But this was not my questions.
