vs2012 web project import existing files and folders

Question

How can i take an existing website (files and folders) that exist on my hard drive into a VS2012 project?

I am trying to highlight the files/ folders in explorer and drag/ drop into the project but that doesn't work in 2012.

I am trying to get the existing site imported into a blank website project and don't want all the extra files VS adds as part of lets say a win forms project.

In VS2012 Solution Explorer:

Right Click on your Solution Name > Add > Existing Website

You can select your existing website files here.

Hope it solves your query.
