Creation of the virtual direct

Answer 1

I had tried each of the steps recommended and didn't work. So, my last resource was to review the registry to find out if my user was pointing to a temp or cache folder. Some posts were suggesting to check on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE; but those were. So, I finally found it by going into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER as recommended by boilers222:
Opened registry (CTRL-R, regedit, OK) Navigated to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\ Found the Personal key was pointing to "\OurServer\RedirectedFolders\MyName\MyDocuments" Selected the Personal key, right clicked on it, and selected Modify
Entered a location pointing to my user's documents file: "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\" Clicked OK and closed the registry editor When I opened Visual Studio and opened my solution, it loaded without the "unable to access the IIS metabase" error.
