How to generate a new solution much like an old one

[Just Me]

Sometimes I'll need to generate a new solution much like an old one.

I'll generate a new solution.
Then copy the project from the old solution into it.
Then do an add project.
Then change the projects name.
Then modify it.

I've noticed that when I do that the GUID of the new project is the same as
that of the old project.

That is, I now have two projects with identical GUID's.

Is that OK?

How can I do it better?


Thanks in advance

Yes, you could create a VS.NET project template which includes the
references and files that you want to have in each new project instance.

That's an interesting approach.



I still wonder
Is this really a problem?

If it is, couldn't I just get a new GUID?

Thanks for the info
