hi everyone:-)

i have the following Problem:

i have a Project with thousands of files in it.

but the files all come from some strange path...(a really Long path) i want them to come from say c:\temp

how to achieve that?

also in the properties of the Project, i would have to adjust all "additional include paths".... how to achieve that?

thx for each Suggestion!

i think i found the solution, i downloaded a whole toolkit, then i created many visual Studio 10 Projects, using cmake. There i can set the right path...:-)
i am working on Windows 7 machine.

If you create a new project in VS, it lets you specify the path to the project folder (it defaults to the project name below the solution folder) - it's the "Location" combobox at the bottom of the "Add New Project" dialog.
To change the folder for an existing project is more complex (and very nasty if you use a source control system) - but possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/211241/how-do-i-rename-a-project-folder-from-within-visual-studio[^] should help.
