How do I get the project References nodes to appear in Visual Studio solution explorer

Question

_{Wednesday, December 26, 2012 6:27 PM}

In other versions of Visual Studio that I have used, each project has a References node underneath the project in Solution Explorer
so I can add or remove references. The version I am using allows me to right click the project and select 'Add References...'
The trouble is, I need to remove all references and start over and I can't seem to figure out either how to do this
or how to find a reference node to view my references and delete particular ones.
So how do I get the project reference nodes to appear under the projects in the solution explorer of Visual Studio?

I am working with an VB.NET ASP.NET web project but I have also not seen the 'References' nodes in a Forms application I built using VB.NET.
AS far as I can tell everything else about Visual Studio seems to work fine.

The references node still does not show up for the web project if I hit [Show All Files], although it does show up for my library project.

My Visual Studio version information is below:

In VS 2012 RC in solution explorer you click on what appears to be a set of quotes, then on what appears to be some files (show all files).

Then click on the triangle next to references

You've taught me everything I know but not everything you know.
