Like if you go File > New > File... and then select "CPP File", it 
doesn't add it to the current project. (And opens the file browser in a 
random spot.) You must instead right-click on the "Source Files" node of 
the current project and select "Add item..." and select "CPP File", and 
*then* it automatically puts the file in the correct place, adds it to 
the project, and lets you compile and run it. Sheesh!
