    How do I keep the Auto login screen in management studio for SQL 2008 R2 from appearing? I remember finding something on this a few years ago, but cannot find anything on it now.

    i believe an "autologin" is nothing more than a shortcut that is passing the required parameters.

    so if you want it to auto login, you add the parameters, and if you want it to stop auto logging in because you set it up already,

    right click on your shortcut and remove the parameters from the call to the SSMS.exe and it should prompt you for server/login info again.

    just go to a cmd window and type ssms /? and a popup screen will appear with the parameter list.

    No, there was something that you could do in the registry to stop it completely. And that is what I want to do. I have all of my servers registered. I do not want the login screen to keep popping up every time I open it.

    Interesting. That worked perfectly. I know the last time I did this I changed something in the registry. But, I guess this is better.

    Thank you
