Changing default file path from c:\inetpub\wwwroot

[WorkerBeeJ]

I'm trying to build a project using my own folder structure rather than using C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot.

I've created the virtual directory, gotten the project from source safe, which is in the path C:\projects\. I'm getting an error which reads the following:

unable to create web project 'projectname'. The file path 'c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\projectname'

does not correspond to the URL '

http://localhost/projectname'.

The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error: 404: Not Found

I've looked on the web, and everything I've found has told me that in that error dialog box, there should be an option for "retry using a different file share path". However, I see no such option in that dialog (maybe because I don't have help installed - I don't know).

...So my question is, is there a way within visual studio or in one of the project files where I can change the location of the path from c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot

to the path that I want?

Thank you in advance,
WorkerBeeJ

As a followup to my first post, I see in the Property Pages for my project, under Web Settings, that there is a section labeled "Web Access Method". This section has two radio buttons, one for "file share" and one for "frontpage". Beside file share, there's a place to type in the path (it currently shows C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot).

Both of those radio buttons are grayed out. Any way to override the setting?

Thanks!
