As far as I am aware (from experience) you have to set the directory names in each project.

I thought that (feared)may be the case, I suspect its from a generic when create a project is applied

It used to be a global setting in a previous version of Visual Studio. I cannot recall in which version they changed it to the project specific settings.

I do not remember that, but if it was a while ago, probably never used it. But its only recently started putting must of my code in dlls

If you work with other people then that is not the way to do things. If you worked with me I would be very, very annoyed. I work with dozens and dozens of projects and I never, ever change VC's include or library directories. Those are user and installation-specific settings and should NOT be changed. Setting the include and library directories is something that should be changed in your projects' settings. In order to work well with other users' you should always use relative paths no two users install things the same way and in the same places.
