I was NOT able to get around the problem by installing UrlScan. Just to
be clear that we are talking about the same problem, it is the message
box "Refreshing the project failed. Unable to retrieve folder
information from the server."?
Steps I took ...
1) Enabled Parent Paths in IIS
2) Installed UrlScan 2.5
3) set AllowDotInPath=1 in urlscan.ini
4) restarted IIS (iisreset)
Still had the same problem. The web site would not load in a web browser
either. It is correct that the problem is IIS not Visual Studio.
Let me know of any step I may have missed.

Good point. In a hold pattern until someone else can confirm this.

Here's my patch in progress. If we get verification I'll commit it

+<p>There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding VS.NET 200x and the
+".svn" directories. VS.NET has absolutely no problem with them. The
+"problem" is IIS6 which Microsoft patched to disallow paths containing
+dots (for "security reasons"). So waiting for the next release of
+VS.NET (Whidbey) won't do any good.</p>
+
+<p>Disallowing paths containing dots is only the <b><i>default</i></b>
+behaviour and can be easily worked around.</p>
+
+<p>The first thing to try is enabling parent path navigation:
