Visual Studio 2008 Duplicate Project folders issue

Question

Every time I create a new website in Visual Studio 2008, two folders are created in the projects folder; ie website1 & website1 (2)(using defaults for example). Folder "Website1" will have the web.config, the default.aspx and code behind page and the app_data folder. "Website1 (2)" will have the *.suo and *.sln files in it. Any ideas on why this is happening and more importantly how to correct?

Im not sure when this started but I have other website projects that are not this way.

I have searched for solutions here on Stackoverflow and with Google but have been unsuccessful in finding a solution. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I was never able to find the cause but restoring the setting to the defaults has corrected the issue.

Menu: Tools > Import and Export Settings -- and choose reset settings.
