INFO: Default Content of the Srcsafe.ini File

• Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows versions 4.0, 4.0a, 5.0

SUMMARY

The Srcsafe.ini file is the SourceSafe initialization file, and it must be present for SourceSafe to operate. The Srcsafe.ini file in the Server installation directory serves as a default for all users. The administrator can modify this file to change the behavior of SourceSafe. This article lists the default settings present in the Srcsafe.ini file.

MORE INFORMATION

The default contents of the Server's Srcsafe.ini are as follows:

   ; srcsafe.ini
   ;
   ; Three of these variables -- Data_Path, Users_Path, and Users_Txt --
   ; must be in Srcsafe.ini. Any other variable here can be overridden in
   ; Ss.ini.
   ; Similarly, any Ss.ini variable can be placed in Srcsafe.ini to set a
   ; system "default," which individual users can still override in Ss.ini.

   ; The two important paths used by SourceSafe.
   Data_Path = data
   Temp_Path = temp

   ; This tells admin where to put personal directories for new users.
   Users_Path = users

   ; From this, find users.txt; from that, in turn, find ss.ini for a user.
   Users_Txt = users.txt

   ; The following line contains common file groupings.
   File_Types = Visual Basic (*.bas;*.cls;*.frm;*.frx;*.res;*.vbp;*.mak),
Visual C++ (*.cpp;*.c;*.hpp;*.h;*.rc;*.mak), Visual FoxPro
(*.pjt;*.pjx;*.frx;*.frt;*.scx;*.sct;*.vcx;*.vct;*.lbx;*.lbt;*.qpr;*.mnx;*.
mnt), MS Test (*.mst;*.inc)
