file organization & control?

[robberman]

I'm using the Intel compiler for the first time, and having trouble getting my source files into the same directory that is created when I open a new project.

For some reason, the new project gets assigned the name of a program (myprog) I opened weeks ago, and then two subdiretories are opened (console1\\console1) along with console1.f90. then I have to add my12 source code modules into the directory myprog\\console1\\console1 before I can compile.

How do I get rid of Intel's "memory" of "myprog", and is there a way to have it not make all the subdirectories?

Is there an easier way to get started, i.e. right click on a program name and have Intel make a new project?

Thanks!

It isn't "Intel", it's Visual Studio.

When you create a new project, look at the "Location" field in the dialog. This is the folder under which VS will create your new solution. If the "Create directory for solution" box is checked, you'll get two folders, one for the solution and one under that for the project. I generally uncheck that box and set Location to a "Projects" folder where I keep all my projects. VS remembers what you last specified for Location and will default to it in the future. It is a dropdown list so you can select from recent choices there.
