title: How to change the default new item extension from .h to .hpp in Visual Studio (2013)
body: <p>I am trying to change the default new item extension from "<em>.h</em>" to "<em>.hpp</em>".</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19112553/creation-of-hpp-file-in-visual-studio"><em>The picture of this post</em></a> shows what I mean.
  I already got it functionally working with <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/e2b4aa7c-73c7-426b-9825-f5db01a9870d/hpp-header-files" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em>this approach</em></a>, by changing:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>the <em>..\VC\vcprojectitems\hfile.h</em> filename to <em>hfile.hpp</em>,</li>
  <li>"<em>HFile.h...</em>" to "<em>HFile.hpp...</em>" in the <em>..\VC\vcprojectitems\VCProjectItems.vsdir</em> file</li>
  <li>"<em>..\HFile.h...</em>" to "<em>..\HFile.hpp...</em>" in the <em>..\VC\vcprojectitems\Code\code.vsdir</em> file</li>
  <li>"<em>..\VCProjectItems\HFile.h...</em>" to "<em>..\VCProjectItems\HFile.hpp...</em>" in the <em>..VC\VCNewItems\NewItems.vsdir</em> file</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What is now left is the description. You can see it on the picture and it should be "<em>Header File(.hpp)</em>" instead of "<em>Header File(.h)</em>" How/Where do I change this?</p>
  
  <p>I know it is such a little thing and it doesn't affect the functionality, but I want it nevertheless. Also is my approach a good one with changing those files or is there a better way of doing this?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
