VS2008 VB project - Changing application type automatically adds references

Question

Visual Basic

Create a new project with the Empty Project template (Visual Basic -> Windows)

Go to the project properties, and change the Application type by choosing something else or reselecting Windows Forms Application.

When reselecting, Visual Studio will automatically add references to System.Deployment, System.Drawing and System.Windows.Forms

C#

Create a new project with the Empty Project template (Visual C# -> Windows)

Go to the project properties, and change the Application type to any of the choices. Visual studio will not add references.

Question

Is there a way to change this behaviour for Visual Basic?
