"obj" folder is used to store temporary object files and other files used to create the final binary.As the "bin" folder is the output folder for complete binaries whereas the "obj" folder is used to store temporary object files and other files used to create the final binary.

Anyway, to change the output folders (..\bin\..) go to your project properties, click the "Build" tab, and change the "Output Path" value. There is a different "Output Path" value for each configuration, which you select from the "Configuration" dropdown at the top of the properties page.

(Configurations will be "debug" and "release" by default.)

However, my advice is: Do not change this!
