Project Explorer

Introduction

Project Explorer is an add-in to Microsoft Developer Studio. It has been tested with Version VC++ 6 and Service Pack 3.

It adds the ability to launch windows explorer in the directory of the currently active project. Although only a very simple ability, it is one that is very handy and I use all the time.

This Add-In is provided free to individuals (corporate users require a licence, and should email me on the address below). If you decide to keep it, I would appreciate a simple email telling me you are using it and if you find it useful.
