Brad,

For VS2005 (or 8.0), The first two items (Working Directory and Command 
Arguments) are stored in the file:

YourProjectName.vcproj.COMPUTER_NAME.UserName.user

I'm not sure where the Start-up project info is stored.  I'll let you 
know if/when I find it.

I'll probably write a batch file to update these item manually. 

Would you foresee adding these as configurable items  in the future.

Thanks,
Matt.
