When I am using Visual Studio 2005 professional doing VB programming I am not able to specify what directory I want the solution to be created in when I create a new windows application.
I had the express edition installed previously.
Anyone have any idea why I am not allowed to specify a directory for the solution
Thanks in advance.

Not allowed to pick directory for a new windows application project

If you look in Tools -> Options -> Project and Solutions Tab -> Visual Studio Project Locations.
This is the root directory for all your projects (which you can change)
When you create a new project the name of the project will be the name of the folder under this Project Location root folder above.

You should be able to, what options are you presented with when you click on File > new project/solution
you should get a dialog box coming up with project choices, and then entering a name for the project (as well as creating a directory for this project) and selecting the location to store the project.
