How to create new root folders in a Team Project source control?

Question

I\'d like to recreate a folder hierarchy like in this example (from TFS Branching Guide Main 2010 v1):

Answer 1

You cannot add a folder to root in TFS to an unmapped as mentioned. However one good way to do this is with the following example.

Scenario:

1. You want to have a NEW Folder to contain many NEW Projects
2. Right click on your solution and Add solution to source control
3. At this point you can create a folder on root with say name of "WebServices"
4. Then you continue through with the popup in adding in your project/solution

For me this works fine, although I too would prefer the freedom to setup a folder structure ahead of time for myself and other developers without having to commit /checkin code etc...
