Interestingly, VS 6 can open it, whereas VS .NET can't. It's probably
trying to hook to it to monitor external changes, and failing, so gives up.
As for editing, my mistake - in my head I was combining the Windows

were in a local directory), with VS's facility to manage and synchronise
projects on a web server.
