trivial little anoying issue i've had for some time

  • using sql server mngt studio. I had this issue w/ past versions. Is there a way to force it to default the file save folder location. Everytime i open a new instance of mgmt studio and was to save a query it defaults to the project folder and i then have to navigate to where i save all my sql stuff. I've tried changing the file save as default but it is only for results.

    Any Ideas?

  • it's in the registry, and there's one for each version of SSMS, it looks like:

    for 2008, for exmaple it's here:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell

    that's where you would change everything to default to a different folder.
