I have this problem with the IDE

joy.simpson

When you start a new project from the Start page, you get a dialog box with project types, names and location to fill in. In the Location box, there is an arrow to click which lists directories in which to store projects. I deleted two of those directories from my hard drive and I don't want them to appear in the Location box. How do I delete them?

But I really think Microsoft should have provided a way to delete unwanted entries within the IDE itself.

IDE Location List ------------------- These values are stored in the Windows Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\General\ProjectLocationEntries LocalProjectLocationEntry1 LocalProjectLocationEntry2 LocalProjectLocationEntry3 LocalProjectLocationEntry4 ...etc Delete the key that contains the obsolote folders. This will remove it from the Location list in the IDE.
