I would like to change the "Visual Studio 2010" folders location to my Dropbox folder, so it gets synced every time I make a change. I have searched on the internet, but haven't found a solution yet.
Is it possible to change the "Visual Studio 2010" folders location from within Visual Studio 2010, specifically Visual C# Express 2010?

If you've already installed it and want to change the location, you must uninstall Visual Studio and then reinstall it. In the Shared components, tools, and SDKs section, select the folder where you want to store the files that are shared by side-by-side Visual Studio installations.
When you create a new project, Visual Studio saves it to its default location, %USERPROFILE%\source\repos. To change this location, go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Locations.
There are two ways to open a folder in Visual Studio. In the Windows Explorer context menu on any folder, you can click “Open in Visual Studio”. Or on the File menu, click Open, and then click Folder. Recent folders will be persisted to the MRU.
If you want to relocate everything in the Visual Studio 2010 folder, it takes a couple steps:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0. Set the remaining locations that still reference Documents\Visual Studio 2010 as desired.
