Visual Studio 2010 as simple web site editor

Question

Is it possible to use Visual Studio 2010 as a simple web site editor (HTML + JavaScript; no ASP.NET)?

VS only supports known project file types (i.e. .csproj), so I started with a C# project and I've been fiddling with the file, but VS still keeps creating .vshost files and obj directory.

Can I force it not to do this?

You can add "Project Folders" to a empty project / solution and add the files into the folders without any project "overhead" .. intellisense works fine ..

See Previous Question

Visual Studio Web Development is orientated to ASP.NET projects creation, but you can build without any problem, HTML & JS applications deleting the extra directories created for ASP.NET apps, which need that.
