VC++ Directories Editor Description
VC++ Directories Editor is a tiny program that enables you to modify the default folder paths of Visual C++. It doesn’t require installation and features only basic options that can be quickly configured.
Portable tool for Visual C++
Since this is a portable app, you can save it anywhere on the disk and just click the executable (32 bit or 64 bit) to launch VC++ Directories Editor directly. It attempts to locate the Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user.props file and, if it fails, it asks you to manually indicate it.
Plain and simple interface
Wrapped up in a classical window with a clear-cut structure that shows all options available, the interface is user-friendly. You can view the default directories for the executable, include, reference, library, library WinRT, source and exclusions, as well as modify them into anything else you want.
Set multiple paths for the same directory
It’s possible to create a list with multiple folder paths to take into account for each directory, change their order in the list, remove any one of them easily, as well as switch to another language for the interface. There are no other noteworthy options provided by this software application.
Evaluation and conclusion
Unsurprisingly, it left a small footprint on system resources, using a light amount of CPU and RAM. No error dialogs popped up, and the tool didn’t hang or crash. Although it integrates just a handful of options, VC++ Directories Editor delivers a fast and reliable solution to modifying the default Visual C++ directories, as well as indicating multiple paths for the same folder.
