OK I created a project and all of the dependencies are listed. Where are the files located now and how can I change it?
The files locations don't change. If you go to "Files" view in your project it will show the location of files. You should put your project VIs in the project, not in dependencies (other than standard files such as vi.lib). Just drag them from dependencies into the project.

I did that and now they are on my PC instead of the project location.
No, that did NOT move the files. If you choose that "Files" tab it shows you where they're located.
Also, if you're using almost identical files I would not use the exact same name for the file - use some notation to show which VI calls it. I NEVER have vi's with the same name but different functionality unless they're in separate related classes (which gives them different names in a LabVIEW context since the class name is part of the name). Using libraries as others have said will also give the files different names from a LabVIEW context.

No, they are not! They are targeted to run on MyComputer (as opposed to some Remote, RT or FPGA TARGET)
To see where they live on disc either A) switch to the files view (see the Items and Files tabs?) Or B) Show full paths of project items from the View menu (or is it under Project? I can't recall) and a vertical splitter will show in the items view with the full path of each item.
It is also helpful to create virtual folders to help organize your sub vis in the items view. Just rigtclick ot the target or an existing virtual folder and create new virtual folder.
Typically my project might look like this
MyProject.lvproj
>Target MyComputer
+>Main.vi
+>Hardware Drivers
