How to add manifest file to project in visual studio 2010?

I am trying to add a manifest file to a project with Visual Studio 2010 in order to configure the project for compatibility with Windows 7 and disable virtualization.

The problem is that in my Visual Studio 2010 there is no "Application manifest file" option to select when I want to add a new item.

I can create a manifest file when creating a project since I set the property in Linker for this. But can I modify this file to add a compatibility property to it?

Is there a way to create a manifest file inside the project and then create it? Or can I set the compatibility property in the Properties dialog box (manifest tool)?

The method I use is to set the project properties / Manifest Tool / Input and Output / Embed Manifest "to No. Then in my RC file add this line: CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID RT_MANIFEST" MyProject.exe. manifest "
