Cannot find/open Bing Maps module Orchard

Question

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.
