Visual Studio warning about copies of files with different contents

Question

When I go to debug my C++ project in Visual Studio, up pops a little warning dialogue box that tells me:

A copy of datum.h was found in
c:/users/brad/desktop/sou         


        

Answer 1

I solved it:

1. Close the window of the .h file in Visual Studio if it's open.
2. Close Visual Studio.
3. CUT the .h file from its normal location and paste it into a temporary folder that VS doesn't know about.
4. Restart VS and compile. It'll complain about the missing .h file. Good -- Make the bastard beg for it!
5. Paste the .h file back into its original location.
6. Compile. VS will gratefully accept the missing file. (Damn I hate Microsoft!)
