IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.



SUMMARY
There are several registry settings you can set in Visual Basic's Visual SourceSafe interface by using the Options menu item. There are also several of the Srcsafe.ini file settings that you can set from Visual Basic's Visual SourceSafe interface by using the tabbed dialog boxes in the advanced portion of the Visual SourceSafe Options.

This article lists the options that are available in Visual Basic's Visual SourceSafe Options and the settings they modify in both the registry and the Srcsafe.ini file.

Developers who also use SourceSafe integration with DevStudio should take care, since the .ini file settings will also affect the integration with DevStudio.
