I am working on some Azure web applications and for debugging. I start VS 2010 as an administrator (usually I right-click the shortcut and start-as-admin, I know that there are properties that I can change or use Ctrl-Shift).
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio - Windows Azure Compute Emulator should be enhanced. Please restart VS in elevated administrator mode to start the project.
If I do, the Azure simulator works fine, but I get two other side effects.
1) I can not drag it into the solution explorer. It is a pain. (Ctrl C / V works, but I cannot drop whole files into the solution explorer)
2) I am developing inside the DropBox file structure. If I developed on my desktop and grabbed my laptop, projects in my Azure solution that are created internally and shared by other non-azure projects are not loaded. Edit: if I create outside the dropbox, fasten the copy in Dropbox, unzip it to the new machine, everything is in order.
3) I get: "Could not load file or assembly, access denied" for various DLLs used by the project - I can fix this for a separate DLL by granting permissions for Network Service, but I also get an error for resource files and the same trick. doesn't seem to work.
This interaction between machines works fine without elevated privileges - I have been doing this for 2 years on about 20 projects without problems.
So, is there a way to run only a calculation emulator, or any other way to avoid these side effects?

EDIT: Having already granted the Network Service user all permissions for the entire folder structure for the project, I get the following error. Prior to this, the error was similar, but was intended to access the DLL in the bin folder of the project.
