Cannot find/open Bing Maps module Orchard - .net-4.0

When installing the "Bing Maps" module into Orchard 1.6 (source version) the module does not show up under modules in solution explorer.
Other modules are simply found in the root under Modules but for some reason this module is not.
It is located on the following location: C:\Orchard\src\Orchard.Web\Modules\Bing.Maps
How come its located here and not showing up in the Solution Explorer (The Orchard.web does not show modules in solution explorer)?
For installation i just went to admin dashboard --> gallery and install.
I need to edit this module because its having troubles with my regional settings, but i do not like editing files i cannot open in solution explorer (when opening through file/open file many lines are marked in red).
Thanks.

Modules are always physically located on the filesystem under the path e.g. C:\Orchard\src\Orchard.Web\Modules\SomeModule When you install a module, the files are copied to this folder.
The root Modules folder that you refer to is a solution folder used in visual studio to organise projects within the solution explorer. Projects can be moved to these virtual folders without affecting their location on the file system. To add your new module to this folder in Visual Studio solution explorer, right click the Modules solution folder and select Add => Existing project and select the project file for your new module.

How to install PDCurses with MinGW on Windows?

I have looked all over the internet for installation instructions but could not find one that actually worked. I have downloaded the MinGW-Get application as stated in many websites, but have no idea how to use it. I did find a website with the following instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL:
Install an ide on your windows machine, I’ll use the simple Dev-Cpp.
Download this zip containing the files you’ll need.
Create a folder called pdcurses and another one called include, inside
of it.
Extract panel.h and curses.h in the include fold.
Extract the .dll file in the pdcurses one.
Now open your ide and set the 32-bit version compiler as the default
one.
Create a new project, set it up.
On the lefty Treeview, right click on the project icon -> project
options
Go to -> Parameters tab-> Linker -> insert in its box the path to the
.dll file you extracted before
Go to -> Files/folders tab
Here you’ll see three inner tabs named: Libraries/Includes/resources
folders; inside each of them you have to insert the path to the
include folder you created before.

However, I could not find the .dll or a library file in the PDCurses folder I extracted from the .zip file I downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdcurses/files/pdcurses/3.4/pdc34dllw.zip/download (as stated in the fifth step). I just got started with C++ and libraries and would appreciate it if anyone could provide me some guidance or any useful links.

How to have individual .idea folders on a shared project

We have multiple developers working on a shared project through dropbox. Each time one of the developers saves a file, the other developers get the following message:
"Project Files Changed
Project components were changed externally and cannot be reloaded:
ToolWindowManager
Would you like to reload project?"
How can each person have their own settings in a shared project so this is not a problem?
You should use VCS (Version control systems) as for example git, and ignore the IDE configuration files (.gitignore), so you can avoid the conflicts with the configuration files

How to force IntelliJ to use a different home folder

I have a computer with two hard drives. In the first one, an SSD disk, I have Windows partition (C) and on the second one (D), a raid volume, I install all the programs. I also moved my user folders (desktop, documents, downloads, pictures and videos) to D:/Users/David.
After installing IntelliJ Idea on D:/Program Filles(x86) a .IntelliJIdea13 directory appeared on D:/Users/David. No problem with this as all was working nice. Then I installed Scala plugin, created a new SBT project and build it. After this, the .sbt directory used by SBT was in C:/Users/David/.sbt but the references to the libraries in my project are pointing to D:/Users/David/.sbt. The question is, how can I force IntelliJ Idea or Scala plugin to download the libraries to D:/Users/David.sbt?
Not 100% sure if this can be a solution, you can change the HOME folder of Intellij IDEA. Look for the folder where the idea executable is. In Linux I have on
~/applications/idea13/bin
On Windows you can check the properties of the menu item. There should be file idea.properties that contains the home folder location of the idea files.
You can find more information here that describe more details:
Locations can be changed by editing the following file:
IDE_HOME\bin\idea.properties
Follow the comments in idea.properties file to change the defaults,
make sure to un-comment the lines defining these properties:
idea.config.path
idea.system.path
idea.plugins.path
idea.log.path
On the other hand you can change the location of your project to D:/Users/David. you should also have a look inside the project folder, there should be a .idea folder with has a library directory. They contains the location of the libs used in the project with their paths.
As dawez allready answered, you should edit idea.properties to set config, system, plugins and log paths.
But if you want to change the user.home path, then you must edit idea.exe.vmoptions file. Just add the following at the end of the file:
-Duser.home=your_new_user_home_path
If you use idea64.exe then you should edit idea64.exe.vmoptions file.
JetBrains had added complete set of features to support such a case and this is described here:

Set root directory for project in Visual Studio 2012 Solution Explorer

Visual Studio 2012's Solution Explorer can be configured to display the actual files on disk (rather than just project files) simply by toggling the Show All Files button. Each project will display the files and folders located in the same folder as the project file itself.
Is there any way to change the root directory of what is displayed?
My cross-platform project is organized like this:
project/ide/vs2012/project.sln
project/ide/vs2012/project.vcxproj
project/src/*
I want Solution Explorer to show the files in my src directory, not my vs2012 directory.
I created a symbolic link under the vs2012 directory to point at my source code:
MKLINK /D src ..\src
Now Visual Studio sees the src folder underneath the project.
I think, if I understand correctly, you should open up the .sln file at the project's root in a notepad application and you'll find what you're looking for in there.

How to add non-source folders to IntelliJ IDEA project

Recently set up a multi module project in IntelliJ with the following structure:
/module1
/module2
/web-module
/sql
/lib
/a few more folders
I set up module1+2 and web-module as modules in IntelliJ so those show up, but how do you make the sql and lib folder show up in the project panel? They should be included in VCS as well, but IntelliJ ignores them. How do you add folders outside modules to a project?
Screenshot of project and explorer view:
This is not a strict answer to the question, but it worked for me so I'm posting, perhaps someone will find this useful.
If you want to add an arbitrary folder to your project (even from some different location than your projects), just add it as a module. You needn't worry about the type so much e.g. I needed to add a folder with some SQL scripts, I added it as a Java module and it's nicely visible in IntelliJ even though it has no maven structure or Java sources.
This is how to do it:
File > Project Structure > Modules
Add > New Module > ... (e.g. Java Module)
In the new module settings mark the subfolders that you want to see as 'Sources'
Voilà! :)
This is something that I typically see when creating a project from existing modules. All the modules will show in the project but not the other project related directories. These directories might be, configuration files, environment scripts or bundles of SQL scripts that don't fit neatly into an Intellij module type.
To show the rest of the project source files and directories, I create a parent module from the project root.
File->Project Structure->Modules
Create a new module using the + sign. The new module could be any type (I use java).
On the Next screen set the Content root and Module file location to the Project's root folder.
Select Finish
All of your other modules should now be submodules of the root, and your other project files should now show up.
Add and remove content roots
To add a new content root:
Go to File | Project Structure, or press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S.
Select Modules under the Project Settings section.
Select the necessary module, and then open the Sources tab in the right-hand part of the dialog.
Click Add Content Root.
Specify the folder that you want to add as a new content root, and click OK.
source: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-managing-modules.html
I used File -> New -> Module from Existing Sources...
Then I simply select the folder and add it.
In Project view mode all directories (except the ignored ones from the settings) should show up. Of course the base folder for your multi-project has to be the folder above module1.
EDIT:
Your project should look like this (project view tree):
MY_PROJECT_ROOT (~/the/folder/to/your/project)
|- /module1
|- /module2
|- /web-module
And in this case, you should definitely see the other folders. I got a sample project set up where this is working.
EDIT 2:
From your screenshot, I assume you are missing the root directory (the project root is not as you expected). I added another screenshot. There should be a single root folder for your 3 modules. This one is missing at your screenshot. You have 3 separate folders with no common root folder. On MacOs, the project root is displayed in the window title. In my case it points to ~/devel/sandbox.
I guess you should try to create a new project in for that trunk folder. From the scratch. Then add the existing modules and you should be fine?!
