SourceSafe and SourceControl utilities
(see more source control-related resources in Source Control Pages

• VSSEMS Utility by Microsoft PSS - A tool for Visual SourceSafe database administrators allowing copying user lists and rights assignments across VSS databases, etc. The tool is officially unsupported by Microsoft or by me for that matter.
• MSSCCI Source Code Control Providers Switcher by Soenke Schau - runs in system tray allowing easy on-the-fly switching between MSSCCI providers installed on the machine. The application is a VC++ project and requires compile. Nice tool, to ve used with VisualStudio .NET 2003 and older for easy source control provider switching. It is no longer needed for VisualStudio .NET 2005, which includes provider switching mechanisms.
• Remove Source Control Info by Michael Carbenay - removes source control info from VisualStudio.NET 2003 solution and project files. Might be a substitute for the Unbind button from File/Source Control/Change Source Control dialog. Use it only if you experienced "Unspecified error" messages with the Change Source Control dialog. The recommended way is to use the Unbind button - please contact Microsoft if you experienced problems with it, so they can fix the bugs in next VisualStudio versions.
• SSService Test - Test the connection to the RPC service used by Visual SourceSafe 2005.
