Visual Studio Project templates [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: Templatizing a project in Visual Studio (3 answers) Closed 8 years ago.

I would like to create a custom project template in visual studio 2010/2008 and I am looking for any resources/information that we give me a good starting point. Furthermore, I need to be able to create custom folders in those projects. Has anyone had any experience with that?

EDIT: I found some more information on the matter and I am trying to sum up my findings and draw some conclusions. From the开发者_开发技巧 answer below I saw one approach of creating project templates

Another approach I found: here

which uses the vs SDK and exposes a new project template called "Project template". I saw some other things like GAX/GAT and Starter kits. Does anyone have some experience with any of those approaches?

You can read an extensive information about project templates on MSDN. They describe everything in details. Also, there is an information how to create custom project templates. It should be enough for the start. As for the second approach, where SDK is used, you can find the difference and guides on MSDN as well. There is also information about Starter kits.
