Hi,
Can anyone tell me if SQL Server Management Studio 2005 have anything similar to VS "devenv /resetsettings" cmd??
Because I want back the default alert box that tells you that it has passed the end of the document when doing a "Find" or "Find and Replace". I accidentally check on the checkbox and its gone forever =(
By any chance can i get that alert message back??
Thanks,
Jon

This looks like a bug in SSMS (bug raised to MS). Management Studio is based on Visual Studio, but Visual Studio has a setting to control the alert you mention (Options->Environment->Find and Replace->Display Informational Messages. This option is missing from SSMS 🙁

There's a workaround for this issue.

1. Close all the SSMS enviorenments.

2. Open the registry editor and locate the key '\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\Find'.

3. Change the value of 'HitReplaced' to '1'

It may not be the legitimate way but it worked for me..
