Cannot add an existing folder in Visual Studio 2012. The Include To Project option is missing

I am running Visual Studio 2012 (administrator) on Windows 8. I cannot add an existing folder using Solution Explorer. I also cannot drag a folder from Explorer to Solution Explorer. I get an invalid target quote icon.

The only way I know is to add folders using Add - "New Folder" and create folders manually.

Why am I having such problems?

Why is the "Include in project" menu option missing? s

"Include in project" displays only files, not folders. When files are included, their folders are included.

Make sure your project is not currently in debug mode. Stop debugging mode and right-click on the folder so that it displays "Include in project"
