I changed the source file settings in the VS.NET 2003 project options.
But the settings are not reflected in the VAX options. There are still the values form the installation.
When do this values change when the project selection is not "custom". If you select the Win32 settings all entries are grayed out, but contain the old values.

When platform=win32 in our Directories node, the value of our stable include files is [should be] determined when you launch your IDE. Our other include files and source files are determined when you open a project. Note: we do not display "other includes" when platform is not custom.
We did a quick test with build 1244. VS.NET. We added a directory of source files to "Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Directories" when Show is "Source files." We opened a project. We see our new entry in our Directories tab. Seems okay.
The whole notion of maintaining lists of pertinent directories during edit, ie not during compile, is extremely complex. We have automated it for most users. We can imagine that we missed a case.
Tell us more about what happens for you, and what you expect.
I have entries in the VC.NET 2003 setup as follows: D:\\Proj32\\AGSQL\\Common\\Libraries\\BCGControlBar $(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\\src\\mfc $(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\\src\\atl $(VCInstallDir)crt\\src
My VAX shows in platform=="Win32": D:\\Proj32\\AGSQL\\Common\\Libraries\\BCGControlBar; C:\\Programme\\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\\Vc7\\atlmfc\\src\\atlmfc; C:\\Programme\\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\\Vc7\\crt\\src;
Thats a bug, when I understand your posting correctly. I was forced to choose Custom and to enter my values.
