How to stop the _? on Web Projects

This is a disaster for my projects - we have common files in web projects that are linked in Visual Studio to other projects. For me it's fine - the VS projects link to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\project and all is cool - however Vault *forces* other developers to locate the web project in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\project_? which is 100% useless... I have to stop this happening.

Any ideas?

It is Visual Studio that does this, and I think it happens because there is an existing c:\inetpub\wwwroot\project and it wants the new web project to be in a unique place. Before doing an Open From Source Control, be sure to remove all the virtual folders that have been created previously for that project. Alternatively, there might be a way to tell Visual Studio to use an existing virtual folder rather than creating a new one, but you'd need to check VS docs for how to do that.

My apologies - I thought it was Vault doing that.
Ok - I'll get the dev to try that and see if it works - thanx for your time.
