What I currently do is I link the project to another location and give it the same name, then check the box where it says "Branch after share." And then I would Check out the shared project and work off it. And finally merge with the original project.
This works okay, but it feels very clunky: I have multiple instances of the project on my drive; I have to change physical address of the website (i use asp.net 1.1) every time I work on a different branch;
That doesn't feel like the right way to do it. How do you branch your projects with VSS?

From its inception, SourceGear Vault was designed and built for users migrating from Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. Vault combines the ease-of-use and intuitive design of SourceSafe with a reliable, robust architecture based on modern technology.
To start Visual SourceSafe Administrator, choose Programs from the Start menu, and then choose Microsoft Visual SourceSafe and Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Admin from the submenus. Figure 15-1. Use Visual SourceSafe Administrator to configure source code control.
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, also called 'VSS', is a file-system-based source control tool from Microsoft. This tool was originally developed by One Tree Software Company and later taken over by Microsoft.
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) is a discontinued source control program oriented towards small software development projects. Like most source control systems, SourceSafe creates a virtual library of computer files.
I think the way you describe in the question is the only way you can do it in sourceSafe.
I usually name the copied directory "V1.0" (or whatever is appropriate) and keep them all in a folder that is the main project name.
