SQL 2008 Registered Server Pane Auto Hide disabled

  • While viewing both Object Explorer and Registered Server panes in SQL 2008, I accidentaly hit the X to close them.. When I re-open with the VIEW button at top of SSMS, I went to click AUTO HIDE.. But Auto Hide is disabled (shadowed out)

    Does anyone knowhow I can ENABLE the AUTO HIDE option on these?

    thx

  • To enable Auto Hide for tool windows:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z4y0hsax(VS.80).aspx

    1.On the Tools menu, click Options.

    2.Expand the Environment folder, and then select General.

    -- The General, Environment, Options Dialog Box opens.

    3.Under Window Layout, select the Multiple documents option.

    4.Select OK, then close and restart Visual Studio.

    -- When Visual Studio operates in multiple documents mode, tool windows can be minimized along the edges of the IDE.

    5.While in Multiple documents mode, select the tool window you want to dock, and follow the previous procedures "To dock tool windows."

    Tip

    ---

    To move a dockable window without snapping it into place, press CTRL while dragging it across the monitor screen.

    6.Right-click the docked tool window and then click Auto Hide. The window slides back to its tab on the edge of the IDE.

    7.To display the window, move the pointer over its tab on the IDE frame.

    Note

    ----

    To determine whether Auto Hide operates on tool windows individually or as docked groups, see the Auto Hide button affects active tool windows only option in the General, Environment, Options Dialog Box.
