for arguments sake, I want to added a readme.txt file to a solutionfolder. The txt file would then not be part of any project - just in a folder as part of the solution. Can this be done? I should add that I want it done as part of the solution unfolding ideally.

Thanks

VS templates do not support adding files to solution items or any other solution folder.

You can vote to have that bug fixed in Orcas at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=f212c7d8-786e-4db0-b401-6739d3ff982b

In the meantime, you will need to have an action to do that.
