Change Windows Application project to XNA project?

Is there anyway to easily do this? Changing the Target framework or other properties doesn't work.

You can look for more clues in the XNA Windows game project template, found in this path:

VS_INSTALLDIR\Common7\IDE\VPDExpressExtensions\Microsoft\XNA Game Studio 4.0\ProjectTemplates\XNA Game Studio 4.0

Look for the Windows Game template called XnaWindowsGame-v4.0.zip

A simpler way may be creating a new Windows project, and a new XNA project, and comparing the .csproj files for both projects using a text editor (.csproj is nothing but a custom XML file).

I suspect the XNA project has a few extra tags in it specifying XNA related information, but in its essence it compiles to a Windows executable, so making these changes to the Windows .csproj file should "convert" it into an XNA project.
