In Visual Studio, I want to make a simple C++ project and export it out as a template, so I can use the template to start new projects to save me time. But the Export Template menu option is always grayed out. I've not once been able to click it.

Anyone know why? Anyone know how to accomplish what I need (besides the obvious "make a copy of an existing project in explorer")?

It seems like project templates should be a no-brainer feature for VS.

This seems to be the case for Visual Studio 2005, 2010 (I probably 2008 as well I haven't checked).
