I am using resharper to do a big refactoring and i keep going from file to file and adding the same namespace over and over again in the "using" section
is there anyway to add a "using" statement to every single file in a folder, namespace or project? Even though some files wont need the reference, most do, so it will save lots of time.

I'd try a regex in the "Find and Replace" dialog:

This works only for files using the System namespace, but maybe you find another common namespace or structure element. After doing so you can refactor all files in your solution(/folder) with the resharper. That will remove doubled usings.
Update: Did you introduce new namespaces for existing types? There is a refactor function called "move". It will move your type to a new namespace and preserve the references.
