Wicked. So, if I change the Linker > Manifest file to be the privilege level I desire, does that get imbeded in the .exe?

OK. Yes and no. If I now open a non-admin CMD prompt and run the .exe,...

I see there's something called a manifest file but VS C++ EXPRESS seems different than non-express. The solutions I've seen show applets/tabs that I don't have in Express.

In one of my physical...

Does one have to manually delete the folder structure as technically there's no way to delete a SOLUTION that I can find.

*sigh*

I created a new project/solution called "verify". All directories were put on D and not a stitch on C. So far, so good.

I then deleted "verify" project using the left-hand Solution...

I looked at the .sln file and see that it DOES point to the D:\ directory as it should. So, it's some kind of hybrid, half-residing in c:\users\jim and half on D:\Libraries\Documents\Visual Studio....

I had previously attempted to put all my VS C++ stuff on my D data partition. It seems I have 4 projects out there.

But, it looks like I have one project that's partly on C and partly on D.

...

I'm aware of global vs. project-specific settings.

It would help if a pop-up box would occur when you attempt to change the global settings:

These global VS setting changes will only affect...

If the MVSC gui was intuitive, I wouldn't be asking these questions.

One more time and then on to another board if no one will answer:

what are OPTIONS for solution folders/projects?

For...

Just as I expected. Totally unintuitive.

This is WHY I'm asking specific questions.

I decided to delete my old test "project" from my solution "test". Good.

I then RENAMED the solution...

To reiterate: I did NOTHING other than a vanilla install of VS C++.

So, after original installation and using the "test" project, and completing the code, letting everything default to...

krmed, so you're saying that I should have ONE solution per "solution" (project)?

Since I currently have "test" as my top-level "solution" of which BOTH system image and test are underneath that,...

OK. I looked through the sln and vcxproj files (3 of them?) and no C: hardcoded anywhere. I can only come to the conclusion that VS C++ isn't designed to coherently move files around.

Thanks krmed, I think I get how this macro/panel interaction works now.

Can anyone answer my other question re: Solution explorer?

What makes the most sense? Having a CONSOLE and GUI "tree" in...

I haven't done that yet. Good point. I've read that there are paths inside those files.

To reiterate: I haven't hardcoded any paths anywhere other then the Project and 2 template paths that one...

I never did a thing other than a vanilla install UNTIL I moved the 3 primary libraries (projects and 2 templates) that are movable via the standard option panels.

I guess I have go through every...

Since the output tab/window says:

System Image.vcxproj -> C:\Users\Jim\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\test\Release\System Image.exe

It seems maybe this setting resides inside a .vcxproj...

I looked through every options and project properties screen I could find. Nowhere is C: specified or anything even resembling a full path....

I simply installed VS C++ vanilla.

I decided to get adventurous and move my 3 project and template directories from C to D.

D . Libraries . Documents . Visual Studio . Projects. Templates....etc.


However, when I compile, it...

I'm well aware that many languages have local/global variables. I've never ever had to address this concept until a month ago.

What should I do when many of these arrays are accessed in multiple...

OK. I need someone to explain to me the conceptual usage of Solution folders/projects.

Attached is what I have. I created a project called test but there seems to be 2 layers of test folder...

I was resopnding to the comment that recursion or local/global variables should not be foreign concepts. They ARE. Quite so.

Experience, not "reasons". It shouldn't bother anyone whether I take advice or not. It wouldn't bother me if someone deflected my advice. I've sincerely asked to help me get into good C coding...

Recursion is an alien concept from a programming standpoint. In all the assemblers I've worked on, there is no such thing as "local" or "global" variables. Variables are simply addressible storage.

I don't see any point in breaking a function into smaller pieces just because it's too long. It's one logical concept. You end up massaging and making things more complex for no real benefit.

I...

Yes, I got in the habit in putting the first squiggly bracket on the right, behind the function/if/do/while/for construct. Simply so it didn't muddy up things and add 1 line of code for every one of...
