[dba-VB] Visual Studio Projects Location

We use SourceSafe, so I can't recommend another source control system.
We never put our projects in My Documents because of the obvious
problems with that.  What we do is create a directory for each solution
being developed on our local drives (you could use a server too) and
within that structure, we create folders for our various projects that
are components of the solution.  There's no magic about My Documents
(except maybe how to make installers stop defaulting to that!!).  I can
use VPN to log into my office machine over the internet and work on the
stuff if I need to.

Subject: [dba-VB] Visual Studio Projects Location

Is it possible to have a common location for Visual Studios projects,
and access them from any computer, without issues?  I have a couple of
servers with Raid 6 volumes that would make a nice safe location for my
programming stuff.  With my laptop dying I had to move the stuff off of
the laptop over to one of the servers, but the default location is in My
Documents / Visual Studio 2005 / Projects which is not on one of the
RAID drives, and is not shared or otherwise visible from another
location.

On another note, I assume that Visual Studio Standard does not have
Visual Source Safe?  Is anyone else using a cheap / free source control
system that they recommend?
