0) The "solution folder" feature in visual studio is broken (IMHO).
a) If you add a folder to your soultion in the IDE, it doesn't create a
physical folder on the file system.
b) When you add a "new item" to your solution folder in the IDE, it puts
the file in the root folder of your solution, even if there's a
physical folder in your solution folder.
The work-around for this behavior is to create a physical folder on your file system (ostensibly in the solution's folder), create the desired "new item" file as an empty text file, and then use the IDE to add that existing item to your solution folder.
1) You can add these common files "as link" to projects in youer soultion. This is really handle for MVC/CRaP apps because this means you can have a multi-app solution that can share partial views and stuff. Silly me - I thought this extended to ALL types of files that were added "as link", but that's not the case. Specifially, CSS files are not included in this ability. Sure, you can add CSS files "as link", but the files are NOT included in the build process. Instead, you have to create a partial view and put your css in a style element. At that point, you can add the partial view file "as link", and Bob's your uncle.
I've spent two weeks dickin' around and googling my redneck keester off, trying to figure out how this stuff doesn't work.
I still haven't explored images or javascript files with regards to "add as link", but I bet that's gonna suck bigger'n a bucket of ticks.

It is crazy to me too. It's so annoying and VStudio does so much for you and has tons of functionality but then this obvious thing of managing folders seems to be too difficult for it. 
I don't get it. It's as if the devs / product owners who created it have never really used it to create projects that contain any extra folders outside of the VSTudio generated ones.
Hmmmm...maybe I'm onto something.

Yeah it does, I don't know how you create folder but if I right click on the folder/solution to be the parent and use add new item - folder vs creates the folder in the file system as well as adding to the solution structure.
Ah forget it, I'm adding to project and sub folders, not the "solution folder". I've never actually attempted to add a folder at the solution level.

Have you tried using "Folder View"? (The drop-down button next to the house in the Solution Explorer toolbar.)

What's that going to do for me? There is no folder created on the file system when you create a "solution folder". I verified that with Windows Explorer. It's insane.

Yes, but it would let you see and manage the physical folders. If you create a folder in "folder view", it creates an actual file system folder. If you add files to that folder, they're actually added to that folder.

Surprise. No it doesn't.
We're talking about *solution* folders, not project folders.
The best way to see what I'm talking about is to try it yourself.
Create a new solution (it doesn't matter what type), and add a folder at the solution level. And then add a folder to that folder. You'll see *no* folders were created on the file system. To further screw with your head, add a file to each of those folders, and you'll see that the files are placed in the sollution's root folder.
It's stupid...

I know what you're talking about, but that's when you're creating folders in "solution" view.
If you switch to "folder" view, you're viewing and modifying the actual file system folder structure, and you don't get the "new solution folder" option.

I haven't quite worked out a solution yet though, so I guess it's probably wrong.
