For me, this was resolved by changing the following registry key to the desired default project location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\NewProjectDialog\MRUSettingsLocalProjectLocationEntries\Value0
Question
When I try to create a new project, by clicking
File→New→Project,
the dialog's default project location does not default to the directory shown in
Tools→Options→[Projects and Solutions]→ [General]→"Projects location:".
But it is pointing instead to an old project of mine.
Is there another place this value is stored?
