VS2008 Security Warning on creating  projects/solutions.

Each time I create or open many projects I get a security warning from
VS2008 Team Ed:

"Security Warning for {Project Name}"

The dialog gives me the option of loading the solution for browsing only, or
loading it normally. In the "more information" dialog, it says...

"An item referring to the file "" was found in the project file ... Since
this file is located within a system directory, root directory, or network
share, it could be harmful to write to this file."

Needless to say, the projects are located under the default VS2008 location.
It's an annoyance rather than a hinderance, anyone know how to make it go
away?

Regards,

Tim

Are the projects in MyDocuments?

Currently, yes. But it seems to happen whether I put them in there, on the
desktop, or on a different drive.

When you get the error, you said it was this:

>"An item referring to the file "" was found in the project file ... Since
>this file is located within a system directory, root directory, or network
>share, it could be harmful to write to this file."

Does it have the file name filled in? Or is it ""? Could your solution have
some kind of file included that is in a different directory?

You said the error came from "VS2008 Team Ed" ? I'm not sure what that
means. That's what it says on the error dialog?

Are you running VS2008 RTM, or a beta version of some kind? It's definitely
odd.

I would be tempted to repair the installation, and if that doesn't work,
deinstall and reinstall.

It actually says "", so I have no idea what it's referring to. It happens
with new projects, so it's nothing I've done.

Visual Studio Team System 2008 RTM. I've got a few things on top like
Silverlight 2 Beta dev tools, the Vista platform SDK, AnkhSVN etc but I'm
sure it was doing that before, and it's not the only machine it does it on.
I'll try a few uninstalls and stuff.

Cheers,

You could try resetting your settings, and see if that has any impact. Look
under Tools\Import and Export Settings.
