When I create filters in my solution in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC, they don't match folders on the HD. Is there any way to set VS up so that they match? I don't want to have to organize my code by hand, AND in VS.

I was looking for that same thing and it lead me here.
In case you haven't found the solution, although I'm on vc++ 2008
in the "solution explorer" at the top, select "Show All files"
that will show you the project directory structure where you can view and add new folders.

The file organizers in the solution. Right click -> Add -> Filter. They act just like folders, but because they don't actually match folders on the hard drive, you can't have two files named the same in two filters, which is rather counterintuitive.
Essentially, you'd have to organize your solution twice - once in Visual Studio, and once on the hard drive by hand. It's even more unintuitive because the #include statement takes a real filepath. So a file that appears to be in "C++/Common/global.h" for example, is actually just included as "global.h".
In essence, the filters actually serve no useful purpose because they have no effect on the hard drive's storage or the in-code references.

Hello,
As I know, we are not able to do that as it is by design and folder would be the adaptive choice.
In addition, you may post your issue on the Visual C++ General Forum to see if any community members have came across this kind of issue and could offer any suggestions.
