When I use the Website / Copy Website feature in Visual Studio 2012, it pops open a "Log On" panel holding previous settings to a website to publish to. It has the server IP and path loaded by default, as well as the User Name, etc. The IP and path are not editable.
I have to cancel and click "Connect" to load the settings I really want.
This would be a great tool if the default settings were what I needed, but it is taking me to a path I publish to very rarely. I would like to have it default to the path I publish to multiple times a day.
I have looked at all the possible settings available from the Visual Studio menu items and can't find where this data is stored.
Can someone help me find this so I can edit it or remove it?
thanks!

When you publish a web site, you need to create a settings file. I am not sure about how the Copy Web Site works--researching...
worked perfectly! I also found it appears all the published files are stored there too, which I wanted to clean up as well, so I created a "default" version with just what I want for future if and when it gets mucked with junk again.
BTW, I was able to edit this in visual studio and expand it into editable XML while I was using the project (it's in one long line) and save it and it didn't muck anything up.
