FIX: ClassView Can Be Very Slow When Using SourceSafe

• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Scrolling in ClassView is noticeably slow when the project is under source control.

RESOLUTION

The following are three possible resolutions:

• Disable source control integration for the entire machine. To do this:
  
  1. Close Developer Studio.
  
  
  
  2. Using a registry editor such as RegEdit, rename the registry key:

     
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SourceCodeControlProvider 

  
  
  
• Disable source control integration for Developer Studio only. To do this:
  1. Close Developer Studio.
  
  
  
  2. Using a registry editor such as RegEdit, select the registry key:

     
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\SourceControl 

  
  
  
  3. Modify the "Disabled" value to 1 (from 0).
  
  
  
• Don't use ClassView.
