As I compare many C# example projects to my VB.NET projects, I see that the References folder shows in the Solution Explorer without having to select "Show All Files". Is it possible to have this for a VB.NET project as well? I find that it would be very helpful to have this folder displayed without having to see all the other hidden files as well.
I'm using VS2010 Professional.
This adds to my list of reasons why I should have learned C# first... thanks in advance to anyone that can either tell me how to make this happen, or to definitively crush my dream.

In Solution Explorer, double-click the My Project node for the project. In the Project Designer, click the References tab. Click the Add button to open the Add Reference dialog box. In the Add Reference dialog box, select the tab indicating the type of component you want to reference.
You can use the Find All References command to find where particular code elements are referenced throughout your codebase. The Find All References command is available on the context (right-click) menu of the element you want to find references to. Or, if you are a keyboard user, press Shift + F12.
Open your project in Visual Studio > click the Show All Files button > expand the bin , Debug > select and right-click the parent folder > choose Include in Project option. 4).
I guess I will have to definitively crush your dream. Sorry. It has been a decision by Microsoft to remove this from the default view to reduce the 'clutter'. However, your 'Show All Files' setting will persist when you save your project. So if you show all files once and then save, then it will always be on.
You can also see your References in the Project designer, which you can always keep open in a tab.
