    In VS 2012 Express, I created a solution called syncpro and then renamed it multisyncpro in the solution window by using F2 and renaming the solution and then the project. I noticed however, in the folder structure MyDocuments multisyncpro syncpro etc. that the second-level folder is still called syncpro. In a solution that has not been renamed, the two folders are the same name. If I rename that folder outside of VS the solution won't load. How can I rename this folder so it matches the new name of multisyncpro? Thanks...

      It is a bit of a pain to do this but can be achieved as follows:

      1. In Solution Explorer, remove the project.
      2. Close the solution, saving changes
      3. Go to Windows Explorer and rename the folder containing the project
      4. Open the solution
      5. In Solution Explorer, use "Add Existing" and add the project back into the solution.

      Use the best guess
