Get IDE to include folders in Bin/Debug folder?

[Lee]

Hi,

Is there a way to force VS2005 to copy the folders (and contents of
those folders) that I created in the project to the bin/debug
directories?

I have a folder that includes xml files that the app needs access to at
runtime and I'm using a relative path to get to them.

Thank you.

Thanks Michael, I will do that. Thought there might be a switch
somewhere that I missed...
