Change import location

Say I downloaded a c++ project and then I try to open it from the Downloads folder, it says it cannot not be located. But when I put in the temp folder it works and then I can open all the cpp and h files. If its in downloads folder, it says those cpp and h files cannot be located. How do I change the setting in Visual Studio c++ 2010 so I can open files from the Downloads folder (or any folder I choose) instead of just the temp folder. Its pretty annoying

learn using pc?

Yeah sounds like a problem with your pc haha....

Dump the files you downloaded into your include folder. It's located in: Program Files (x86) -> visual studio 10 -> VC -> include
Same with any library files: Program Files (x86) -> visual studio 10 -> VC -> lib (x86/x64)
Then you can use them like you normally would.

Eg:

pragma comment( lib, "lib.ext here");
or
#include <Some_weird-header_file.h>
