At any point, you can simply delete the original solution folder and rename the copy by removing the " - Copy" and you're back to how you started.

You'll notice that I keep saying "solution folder". The solution is the top level and the project is under that. One solution can contain multiple projects and often does. It's that top level that you need to copy and don't pointlessly copy it anywhere other than the Projects folder that it's already under.

To set the startup form for a project, you open the project properties and set the Startup Form field. As for the rest, I'm not going to comment because it's hard to know what exactly the issue is. You might want to open the SLN and VBPROJ files in Notepad and check their contents. If you see any obviously wrong paths in their then you can correct them who knows what the actual damage is. Just be careful editing those files by hand though, because you may do more harm than good if you make a mistake.

You might be better off just creating a new project and then trying the Add Exiting Item option to add the items from your old project to the new. That might right any wrongs that have occurred at the file level.
Thank you for the suggestions jmcilhinney. I will add to your rep for your ideas, however I did find the answer I was looking for and posted it on this thread for other's to view if they have similar problems. This thread is RESOLVED!
