To rename every detail of a project:

  1. Right-click and rename the project in Solution Explorer.
  2. Right-click and rename any related .cpp and .h files.
  3. Right-click the project and select "Remove". Confirm saving any changed files.
  4. Exit Visual Studio.
  5. Rename the project's directory.
  6. Rename the project's .vcxproj and .vcxproj.filters files.

  7. Search the project's folder for any references to the old project name in file contents. Typical places are:

    • Comments in the project's main .cpp file.
    • Comments in stdafx.cpp.
    • A <RootNamespace> entry in the project's .vcxproj file.

  8. Start Visual Studio and load the .sln file.

  9. Right-click the solution and add the project again.
  10. Put some thought into new project names so you don't have to do this again :^)

Select the project node in Solution Explorer, then click on its name again -- just like you would rename anything in Windows Explorer.
