SUMMARY
When deploying a Web project, two files that are not in the project are created in the deployment location. By default, they are FOLDER.GIF and HTMLFILE.GIF.



MORE INFORMATION
You can customize these images by editing the following lines in the SRCSAFE.INI file:

Img_File = HTMLFILE.GIF

Img_Folder = FOLDER.GIF

to read, for example:

Img_File = MYIMGFILE.GIF

Img_Folder = MYIMGFOLDER.GIF

NOTE: The default .GIF files are located in the Visual SourceSafe install directory on the server. If you customize these SRCSAFE.ini lines, you need to be sure to have the actual .GIFs in this location. For example, not having MYIMGFILE.GIF under the VSS directory will prevent it from being copied to the deploy location.

Placing a semicolon at the beginning of these lines will also prevent these files from being copied to the deployment location and will cause the Site Map file to be created with a red "X" glyph where these glyphs would normally appear.

Steps to Reproduce

 * 1) Create a Visual SourceSafe project.
 * 2) In the Visual SourceSafe administrator, designate this project as a Web project and specify a Deployment Path, such as C:\deploy.
 * 3) In the Visual SourceSafe Explorer, deploy the project. Note that the deployment folder contains the files from the project and the two additional .gif files.
