Where are my project files stored

Question

I am having some issues with VS C# 2010. Upon create a project I can not seem to locate the project files after saving.

On my laptop they store to C:\Users\james\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects but on my desktop they are being stored in C:\Users\james\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\mediaplayer

I can seem to locate this folder, even when using the variable %appData%. There is no Local, or Tempory Projects folder. At least I can't see them.

I much preferred the project being stored in Documents. Is it possible to change this? If not, how can I physically access the folder with my project within it?
