Additional include directories in VS2010 for an "empty C++" project

I am creating a sample project (a Hello, World!) with libevent. (Just for note: This question has got nothing to do with libevent but with Visual Studio. :-)) I compiled the library separately outside but under Visual Studio environment. Wanted to test with a sample code and I started with creating a new project in VS2010. I selected `Visual C++ --> General --> Empty Project`. When I selected the project properties to add the 'additional include directories' I do not find `C/C++` node where it is usually added. This is how it looks: However, when I select `Visual C++ --> Win32 --> Win32 Console Application` I will be able to see the `C/C++` node and add the additional include directories. I read this post and understood I can add the required directories in `VC++ Directories --> Include Directories`. But yet it's not so very advisable to change the default setting. Is there any other way I can add additional include directories without selecting the `C++ --> Win32 --> Win32 Console Application` project? Just want to know.
