Finding Visual Basic Projects

As in the previous versions, Visual Studio 2010 stores by default its information in a user-level folder called Visual Studio 2010 and that resides inside the My Documents folder. Here you can find settings, add-ins, code snippets, and projects. For example, if you run Windows Vista or Windows 7, your projects should be located in C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects, in which UserName stands for the user that logged in Windows. Of course you can change the default projects directory by opening the Options window (Tools, Options command), selecting the Projects and Solutions item on the left side, and replacing the value for the Projects location text box.
