After a few years break dealing with chronic neck pain, I finally decided to have a second surgery and now I am pain free and while I thought I was going to have to give up game programming or programming in general. I am definitely moving back into the field and back to finish some of my projects/ideas.
I am re-learning T3D and I use Visual Studio 2010. I guess before I never really got used to using the toolbox, but now it has me totally stumped.
I created a project using the toolbox however, it does not create a VS2010 solution. So I copy the solution over set it up and compile, game runs fine. However, when I go back to my Project directory, there is no solution files anymore.
Any idea why my solution files would be disappearing?

That seems to work better and no more lost files -so far, if I do its on SVN and I just copy back down.
But I do have a separate install where the toolbox is located... Just because it has some info I may want to look at some day and play with.
My process takes up a lot of disc space since I replicate the code for each project, but it works out better for me in the end. I can easily push changes back to the HEAD if needed.
But I did find some posts related to VS2010 and the toolbox, but for now, I am good to go.

I may have at one point pushed the source on a separate project. But I am no longer using the toolbox. Not that it is not a good tool, but I prefer to use SVN to manage my code and would rather have projects under separate branches as opposed to how the Toolbox sets things up inside one folder.

You're not selecting 'edit C++ source' from the Toolbox to open the VS solution? I can't remember if 1.2 supports VS2010 or not. You may also run into problems with file references in those solutions being not local. Not sure why that would cause your solution files to disappear, but it's something to look out for when copying those files around.
