We are using VS 2005 with VSS 6.0d. On our development machines we have the following directory structure: Product1 ...DLL1_Solution .....DLL1_Project ...WinUI1_Solution .....references DLL1_Project .....DLL2_Project ...... ...WinService1_Solution .....references DLL1_Project ...... We simply want to add this structure to VSS. When adding the solutions from VS to VSS *.root directories are created on top of every solution and we a message about potential problems gets displayed. Why is a .root folder created on top every solution I add to VSS from VS? Can this be switched off? -- Peter Meinl ISTEC GmbH
