Thanks

Errrm; would that be

The Project (<name>.vbproj, <name>.csproj, etc.) file, that
generally lives wherever you tell 'Studio to create it, and

the Solution (.sln) file, which has a nasty habit of being created
under ...\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects?

Oh no. I forgot;

There's also :

The <name>.suo file, that holds Lord knows what, but at least
seems to hang out /with/ the Solution file,

the <name>.??proj.user file that d*** well /ought/ to hang out with
the Project file but which all too frequently get shunted off (by
ASP.Net projects) into the Black Hole that is the much-accursed
(by /me/, anyway) VSWebCache (to be found in the oh-so
convenient location ...\Documents and Settings\<User>\VSWebCache\<Machine>,
and

the <name>.??proj.webinfo file (for ASP.Net projects), that contains
the URL where the Project file is to be found. Ironically, this file
seems to be consistently created in the same physical directory as the
the Project file ... ;-)

HTH,
Phill W.
