This file contains all sorts of things such as all the arguments for the Debugger panel. I don't remember what the name of the file is offhand, because I'm not at my windows machine at the moment. This file is created after you first open the solution file. What this means, though is there really isn't a good way for CMake to change what the default build configuration is. As far as I can tell VS just picks the first configuration. I don't know if it's simply an alphabetical choice or the first configuration in the projects. Some simple experiments with hand modifying the project files could yield the answer. If it's based on the order in the project files, CMake could be able to write the files differently, but if VS is being clever and simply sorting them in ASCII order then it's game over. James
