Remarks

When you execute a command in VSS Explorer, you can choose whether to display a dialog box that gives you a variety of options to set. The advantage of the dialog box is that it enables you to treat each execution of a command differently. The disadvantage is that it adds at least one extra step to every common operation.

By default, VSS does not display each dialog box when you perform a command on a file; it displays the dialog box when you perform a command on a project. These variables can be used to alter those defaults; for instance, if you set Skip_PGet = Yes, no dialog box is displayed when you perform a project-level Get command. If you set Skip_FCheckout = No, VSS displays the Check Out command dialog box when you use the file-level Check Out command.

You can also set these variables in your SS.INI file by using the options on the Command Dialogs tab in the SourceSafe Options dialog box.
