SUMMARY
=======

This article provides a list of the registry entries created by the installation
of Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0.

When Visual SourceSafe 6.0 is removed using the Add/Remove tool in Control Panel,
all of these registry settings are removed. To verify that they have been
removed:

1. On the Start menu, click Run.

2. Type regedit in the Open: text box.

3. Click OK.

Microsoft does not recommend that you modify the registry. Using Registry Editor
incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your

incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
