Visual C++ 2005 express help.

Ok, I am starting to play around in c++ and start modding hl2mp.

I went into the c++ directories to add the correct sdk and dx ex, include, and lib directories and instead of adding the directories I replaced the default ones in the menu.

Does anyone have/can anyone take a screenshot of the "projects and solutions" menu under c++ directories both the include files and library files so I can add the default locations back into there?

I've un-installed/re-installed system-restored/and imported all default settings from within visual c++ and it will not change the c++ directories back to default.

I've searched online for the past 2 hours to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

once you get the Express and download the 300meg SDK(and get all the headers set up) then you can use steam and get the hl2 sdk downloaded. I personally just copied all the headers files in the SDK and copied them to the express header folder; same with libraries.Then simply click on the 2005 solution file that is made when you make a hl2mp mod via steam and set it to release and try to build.

Thats all thats required.

According to here http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compiling_under_VS2005

I have to add

"Tools - Options: Projects and Solutions - VC++ Directories

upper right select "executable files" and enter "...\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin" (replace with the correct path)

"include files" --> "...\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include" and "...\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)\Include"

"library files" --> "...\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib" & "...\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)\Lib\x86" "

And instead of adding them, I changed the existing directories and I need to find the default directories to change them back to.
