In VS2010 they added to all projects a virtual directory called "External Dependencies":

It really bothers me especially because if there is a normal folder named "Apple" and one named "Deep" it will be in between the two, and also the information it gives is, in my opinion, completely useless.
Is there any way to remove or hide it?
On the right side panel expand the Text Editor section, then expand C/C++ and then click on Advanced. Set the Disable External Dependencies Folder to True and restart Visual Studio.
Just right click on your project and select properties. There you will get another set of options under 'Configuration Properties' . Go to C/C++ and under that -> General -> Additional Include Directories ( where all the header files of third party is there ).
in "Additional dependencies" combobox, you can add library (. lib) files, so your EXE can link with. in a C++ file.
Don't know if you figured this out yourself but looking at this page you can disable it in the Options dialog (from the Tools menu).
On the right side panel expand the Text Editor section, then expand C/C++ and then click on Advanced. Set the Disable External Dependencies Folder to True and restart Visual Studio.
As mentioned by Michael in the comments, apparently you don't need to restart Visual Studio but can just close and re-open the solution to see the effects.
