DefaultPath

SZ

Path and name of the SourceSafe Configuration File (usually called  "srcsafe.ini"). When left empty, the default database set in the SourceSafe is used. The default value is an empty string which corresponds to the last database opened with the sourceSage 2005 administrator program.

Note: This key needs to be set when using the Visual Studio SourceSafe 2005 version in Italian, as no database has been predefined for the SourceSafe.

The Visual SourceSafe 2005 in English does not have this problem.

VSSSettings

Enabled

DWORD

Consents to enable the Visual SourceSafe managment. The default value is 1. In cases where the SourceSafe management is disabled, all commands  inherent to the SourceSafe will result as disabled. Therefore, when opening projects shared with the SourceSafe, problems may arise when editing their resources because these resources wil lbe blocked in "read-only" mode by the SourceSafe. This will need you to delete the SourceSafe project and restore all the project files as "read-write".
