Visual SourceSafe and Web Projects

Hi-
I'm about to embark on application changes that will take at least 6 months to make.
As I'm making changes, if someone requests a mod to the old system, I'm in trouble.
So - I want to run 2 versions of the Web Application in development and in SourceSafe.

I'm having trouble making a non-VSS copy of the existing app. It seems like VSS has embedded itself into the .csproj file. How can I essentially make a Non-SourceSafe copy of my application, and then check it into VSS under a new title likt "Version2" ?

It's easy for me to redirect IIS from a web root of Dev\V1 to Dev\V2. But SourceSafe is killing me.

Any help is appreciated - BFor what it's worth, in my tests it appears that inside the ".csproj" near the top is text like this:

ProductVersion = "7.10.3077"
SchemaVersion = "2.0"
ProjectGuid = "{X6A887BF-1786-4C51-A7C0-9D2E42F6F258}"
SccProjectName = "SAK"
SccLocalPath = "SAK"
SccAuxPath = "SAK"
SccProvider = "SAK"

If I delete this from the copied project along with the other 2 or 3 VSS files - it seems like it's completely disconnected from VSS. Is this true ?

Thanks - B
