Solution Folder button at the top of the Solution Explorer window. (This step is
illustrated in Figure

).
3.

Selecting your BI solution files
Note:
windows by default hides the file extensions. So, you may see only the first part of the name of each
of these files. we recommend turning off this feature when you get the chance. it will often be very helpful
to know the extensions of all your files. To find more of this feature, search the web for “windows Show
Extensions.”
