I’ve created a new Visual Studio C++ project and I’d like to import copies of a number of C and header files into the project. That is, the files are currently in a folder on my desktop and I’d like to import them such that copies are placed in the newly created project folder.
How would I do this? I’ve tried using File | New | Project from Existing Code but that just keeps the files in their existing location. I’ve even tried a simple Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V and again that imported the files but they stayed in the same place on disk.
Copy the files to the new location in Windows Explorer, then start Visual Studio and add them as existing items to the project.
