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.

To change this location, go to **Tools** > **Options** > **Projects and Solutions** > **Locations**.

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**.
