In VS 2003, I was able to exclude full folders from a project but I can't
do the same in VS 2005. I can exclude files but not folders. I prefer to
exclude at the folder level because the folder icon has visual indicator.

Hi,

you can start using Web Deployment Project addition in VS2005, of course
assuming that you want to configure excluding with deployment in mind.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/reference/infrastructure/wdp/default.aspx

When using it, you can configure which folders etc are included in the
deployment (or exluded from it), for ewxample when modifying the wdp project
file by adding

<ItemGroup>
<ExcludeFromBuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\test\*.*"/>
</ItemGroup>

with this you essentially exclude folder "test" and it's content from the
output.
