If you select the second option in the dialog you should not get prompted again about it for the current project. Is this a custom project template that you created or modified
VS will also warn you when you are opening a project from a potentially unsafe location. You can remove that warning by going to Tools\Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Warn user when the project location is not trusted.
The peculiar issue with you is that your document directory should be just fine. However you did say that this was an upgrade to Vista and that might be the issue. The Documents and Settings directory of XP has been replaced with the Users directory. For backwards compatibility Vista maintains the Documents and Settings directory but it is a link back to the Users directory. However VS doesn't realize that and assumes it is a network drive I suspect. Change your project path in VS to point to the Users directory and see if that cleans things up for you.

Did you verify that your VS installation no longer pointed to D&S for the project, item template and project template directories (Tools\Options) I'm wondering if that is causing all your problems. Like I said, in Vista it is a link rather than an actual directory now. Explorer will display it but you can't click on it.
As for the clean install I personally never upgrade OSes anymore partially for this reason. Security also can be a mixture between XP/Vista. Finally there are all the legacy XP directories/features that might be lying around. I, and it is just my opinion, believe it is better to have a clean, correct OS install rather than an upgrade. This was especially prevalent back during the W2K -> XP upgrade process when XP locked down most of the system files and registry, except if you upgraded from W2K :{

You can just reset all the settings by going to Tools\Import & Export Settings -> Reset all settings to reset all settings to their initial install state. Deleting the settings file doesn't help a lot as VS caches a copy of it elsewhere.
