Empty Application, missing Properties and References folder?

I just started out with ASP.NET. I am currently following a tutorial which started out by creating an ASP.NET Empty Web Application. All i have, that is somewhat similar, is ASP.NET Empty Website.

But that project template only supplies a web.config file with hardly anything in it and that's about it. But in the tutorial it shows that his project has a Properties and a References folder. And probably a more complete web.config aswell.

So what can i do best? Is there a way to add the Properties and References folder someway? And what about the incomplete web.config? This is the only stuff that is in there:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0">
      <assemblies>
      </assemblies>
    </compilation>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

Or am i better of by starting with a ASP.NET Web Forms Site and then delete all the files i don't need?

There is a difference between Websites and Applications (=> What's the difference between a web site and a web application?). Open File > New > Project (Ctrl + Shift + N) and select the ASP.NET Empty Web Application from there.
