I'm new and I hope I'm in the right area for this.
I have an app I've developed in VB 2008 Express.
I want to save the entire project to a different directory.
However, when I hit FILE / SAVE ALL, no dialog allowing me to select the save directory comes up.
It just saves it back to the same one without any questions.
How can I fix this?
 
You can exit VS and use Windows Explorer, just rename/move the root solution folder.
 
this is the issue

John:
The problem is that the origianl root folder has a lot of extra crap in it and I wanted to move the project to a pristine folder.
So being new, I don't know exactly what should go and what shouldn't.
If I could specify a "save" spot it would be great.
 
There is a "Clean Solution" functionality, which "delete any intermediate and output files" (that is not currently locked by VS). This targets the generated files in Bin and Obj subfolders, but not 'user files' left there by the application or user. "Clean Solution" is not in any menu or shortcut in VB Express by default, but you can modify menus/shortcuts to get access to it. If you want to delete all intermediate/output/user files you can from Windows Explorer delete the Bin and Obj folders completely, VS generates these from the source files.
