In this view you can do the following: |

| <li>Browse the elements of C/C++ source files</li> |
| <li>Open files in the editor view</li> |
| <li>Open projects in a new window</li> |
| <li>Create new projects, classes, files, or folders</li> |
| <li>Manage existing files (cut, paste, delete, move or rename)</li> |
| <li>Restore deleted files from local history</li> |
| <li>Import or Export files and projects</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Files that you select in the Project Explorer view affect the information that is displayed in other views.</p> |
| <p>Right-click on any resource in the Project Explorer view to open a pop-up menu that allows you to perform operations such as copying, moving, creating new resources, comparing resources with each other, or performing team operations. </p> |
