  • Article

Following up on yesterday's
post, here's the manual procedure from the ever-helpful folks on the
Team Development team in Microsoft
Product Support Services:

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may
cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To
change source control providers, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type
    regedit, and then click OK to open Registry
    Editor.

  2. In Registry Editor, expand the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders

  3. In the right pane, double-click the registry key of the source control
    provider that you want to use (for example, Microsoft Visual
    SourceSafe    ), and then copy the data of this key to the clipboard (for
    example, Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe).

  4. In the left pane, click SourceCodeControlProvider.

  5. In the right pane, double-click ProviderRegKey.

  6. In the Edit String dialog box, replace all of the text in
    the Value Data box with the contents of your clipboard, and
    then click OK.

  7. Close the registry editor.

  8. Restart your application for the changes to take
    effect.
