The only link I can find anywhere is this: Is it possible to create "Empty Solution" with Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?

There are almost no templates and Blank Solution is not one of them. I tried searching Online Templates but also no luck.
Any ideas?
“Empty Project”. Project is synonymous with solution 🙂
EDIT:
I just tried it out now, and after clicking ‘Empty Project’, I’ve been given to option to specify a name for the new solution too. As shown below:
Note that there’s even a checkbox giving you the option to create a new folder for the solution.
