Why can't I change my Visual Studio 2010 default project directory?

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?

Answer 1

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
