Hi, ALL

In the VC.net 2003 IDE, the start page list the solutions that I have
opened. the start page only display: name, and modify date.
the problem is after I have opened a several solution which have the same
name, and stored at different path, the start page will list a lot of
solutions with the same name. because there are not path to be displayed, so
I don't know which solution is my needed. the more interesting that the
modify date seems always not changed, whatever you modify the solution or
the source code. so the start page list all the same date with the all same
solution name??? which let me always mess up. Who can help me?

Thanks a lot,

Bill

I wish I knew how to edit that page, too.
However, when your point to an item in the
list (don't click), you see its path in the
status bar.
Thanks a lot,

I noticed that start page when I first installed .net and thought hmmm...
another thing they have stuffed up in the .net IDE. I have never used it.

I rely on what I have been doing for the past several years. Each solution
(project, pre .net) that I am currently working on has its own shortcut on
the desktop. Some of them are important enough to have the shortcut in the
quick start bit of the task bar as well. The shortcut launches VC with a
parameter specifying the file name of the solution of interest. Each
shortcut is clearly labeled as to what it is eg: 'product 4 version 3.5".

For solutions that I don't often use (and/or don't have a shortcut for) or
those I have relegated to the archive I fire up explorer and double click
the .sln file.

The only time I ever launch VC as an application is when I am creating a
brand new solution.

Cheers
Richard.
