    The Structure of VSS folder structure is more or less like the Windows Explorer. First you create a root project ($). Then add any folder files to it.

    That's just filtering the files in the folder you have selected. Use *.* to view all the files.

    You should consider not using VSS at all.

    Subversion, or the windows graphical interface to it, TortoiseSVN is much better.

    I have used three tools so far - PVCS, VSS & Subversion. I feel for VB related projects, VSS is much easier to use.
