my project wont run in parent folder when copied to another computer

[Rich P]

when I copy the parent folder containing project files (VS 2008,
C#/VB.Net) on the development machine to a backup machine which also has
VS2008 installed on it - I can't run (most of) the projects in the
development environment from the parent folder on the backup machine. I
have to move/copy some (most) of the projects to some other folder on
the backup machine before for the project(s) to run in the Development
environment.

Is there a way to get around this? I vaguely recall tweaking some file
in the Windows folder - something to do with the user login. Can't
remember. Any suggestions appreciated what I can do to resolve this
issue.

Thanks,

Rich

I have never seen this issue, and frequently bring work home similar to
what you describe. It seems to me that I open solution files (*.sln)
rather than project files (*.csproj) though. Perhaps that is the
difference?

I always open projects from the .sln file. So no. But someone from the
VS C# group mentioned about user permissions, like if I log onto my home
computer as someone different, then I can run the project in the folder
of question. But if I log on as my usual self and the project wont run
- if I copy the project to another folder outside of the workplace
folder structure - then it will run when I click the run button.
