Can anyone tell me how to remove a solution from within Visual Studio .NET?

Close VS.NET

Rename the folder containing the solution, or rename the solution itself

Open VS.NET

Close VS.NET

Sorry, missed a step in there:

(revised)

Close VS.NET

Rename the folder containing the solution, or rename the solution itself

Open VS.NET

Click on solution, VS.NET should display dialog that solution can't be found

Close VS.NET

I followed the steps mentioned below, however that did not resolve the
issue. After restoring the name of the folder/solution and re-opening
VS.NET, it found the solution again and added it ot the solution list.

Any more ideas?

Another way to do it, from what I recall, is to change the number of projects
to keep in the mru list (Tools/Options/Environment/General/Display x items in
most recently used lists) down to the minimum (0 or 1), close, re-open, and
then restore the mru count to the value of your choosing. However, with this
method (if it still works), nukes all of your MRU projects.

Aside from editing the registry, the method that I outlined is the only one
that I know of. There supposedly was an add-on that would allow you to manage
the mru list, but last time I tried, it was so buggy that I couldn't get it to
do anything.

That worked. I searched all throughout the internet for a way to remove a
solution, but you're the only one I've found with the answer.

Apparently, the Start Page list is somehow tied to the Recent Files list,
and will rebuild itself from the Recent Files list.

Thanks,
