remove files from visual studio source safe
so for a long time I had been wondering if there was a way to remove files from visual studio 2005 so they would not show up in the project and be added to source safe. For example I have a fonts folder with 2000+ fonts that I just don’t want added to source safe. Well all the posts I found said this was not possible in visual studio 2005 and that you were pretty much stuck. Well I stumbled upon a solution, if you make any file or folder Hidden (right click properties) then the file will not show up in visual studio solution explorer. Then you can check in your project without worrying about source safe grabbing all those unwanted files. Hope this saves someone lots of time as it did me!
