However, you can set the name of a database to whatever you want (overriding the default) when you add it to your list of databases. You can either remove and re-add the database, giving it the name you want, or edit the registry. The names of your databases are stored in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe\Databases -Mark
