Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to create a Solution Template in VS2010? I need to create a solution with several projects already created....

Solution templates do not exist. A VSTemplate type can be Project or Item, reference is here. This is also visible from File + Export Template.

Maybe you could write a macro to copy/create the required files.

If that is true (and I am not disputing what you're saying) then how does someone create a template like some of the starter kits? I found this online: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185308 (how to create multi-project templates. Maybe that is what I'm looking for....

Yes, looks to me that this ought to be a good start for 2010 projects. Bummer on the crummy docs. The start kits were project templates afaik.
