title: Why is Visual Studio constantly trying to create a 'dummy/empty' file?
body: <p>I just ran <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Process Monitor (by Sys Internals)</a> for the first time on this Win7 RTM machine to figure out the paths VS2008 uses when compiling (so i can exclude them from my AV).</p>
  
  <p>Check this out ....</p>

  <p>WTF? Every 6 seconds (or so), it's trying to CreateFile at some invalid path. 
  If u notice (in the pic) i've turned off all details EXCEPT the file system activity.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have any idea's what is going on?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Took another screenie with clearer info.<br>
  EDIT 2: Can anyone else replicate this? If so, please add a comment if u can.
  EDIT 3: Could it be because of a plugin i have? eg. Resharper?</p>
