Is there a place to set header and library path for ALL projects in VC2010 express? When i set them they seem to only apply to a single project (eg i have to set them everytime i start a new project).

+1  A: 

I think you can set the env vars: INCLUDE and LIBPATH for this.

Not sure how to do it from the GUI - but from the control panel it is straightforward. I don't know if Visual Studio appends to that or just sets/overwrites it though.

can you explain more? I set INCLUDE to `C:\dev\external\include;` in user environment variable and reopen one instance of visual studio and had no luck.

how are you setting it?

Like this http://i41.tinypic.com/1zmkns0.jpg NOTE: There were no include/libpath variables before.

A: 

Use property sheet files. *.vsprops Change default one for the platform you need. They are under Property Manager Tab, near Solution Explorer.
