Solutions Listed In VSS Include Entire Path to WorkFolder   

I'm using VB.NET and VSS 6.0d.

When adding a solution to source control, if I create a project folder in VSS and then drag and drop the files from the source location in Windows Explore to the VSS, if I subsequently open the project in VB.NET, it looks the same as before...source control is not applied.

If, on the other hand, I add the project to source control through the IDE interface by selecting "Add Solution to Source Control", then source control does get applied, but with the entire local directory tree of the source files included in the VSS project.

Question:  Is it possible for a solution to be added to VSS 6.0d where the folders and files are listed from the solution level down, but not including the half a dozen or so levels of folders leading to the solution's working folder?  Thanks.

Don't do this. To enable source control integration in VS a project/solution 
must be added to source control from VS integration.

Possible, depending on your solution's structure. Try using 
File/SourceControl/ChangeSourceControl dialog instead of 
AddSolutionToSourceControl and Bind the projects one by one in the desired 
location.
