    Hello. Please excuse me for this basic question. We are presented with the option Create directory for solution when creating new solution. How does visual studio know the whereabouts of the all the project files while the .sln is in different ("root folder" is the right term?) folder ? Thanks for any input.

    This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

      The solution and project folders have a fixed structure when created, and the actual file locations are kept in these files. You can inspect them for yourself to see how and where the details are saved.

        Open the .SLN and .vbproj/.csproj files in Notepad and all will become clear.
