The easiest way to create a new project is to use a project template for the project type you want. A project template includes a basic set of pre-generated code files, config files, assets, and settings. Use **File** > **New** > **Project** to select a project template. For more information, see [Create a new project](create-new-project.md).

You can also create a custom project template that you can use to create new projects from. For more information, see [Create project and item templates](../ide/creating-project-and-item-templates.md).

When you create a new project, Visual Studio saves it to its default location, *%USERPROFILE%\source\repos*. To change this location, go to **Tools** > **Options** > **Projects and Solutions** > **Locations**. For more information, see [Options dialog box: Projects and Solutions > Locations](./reference/projects-solutions-locations-options.md).

A "solution folder" is a virtual folder that's only in **Solution Explorer**, where you can use it to group projects in a solution. If you want to locate a solution file on a computer, go to **Tools** > **Options** > **Projects and Solutions** > **Locations**. For more information, see [Options dialog box: Projects and Solutions > Locations](./reference/projects-solutions-locations-options.md).
