New Team Project doesn't appear in Team Explorer

I have just created a new开发者_StackOverflow社区 Team Project, added items to it, mapped to a local folder and performed a Get Latest, so I am quite confident the project is created and working, yet it doesn't appear in Team Explorer. To access the project, I need to open Source Control Explorer for a sibling project, and then in the Folders pane, under tfsserver\DefaultCollection, I can see and work with my project. What could be wrong?

Once you add a project to TFS it doesn't necessarily show up automatically on the team explorer. Click the button at the top of Team Explorer that says Connect to Team Project and check the box next to your new team project. That will make it show up in the explorer.
