Tab Options

When you delete a file from the VSS database, VSS asks "Are you sure you want to delete?" Some users find the warning helpful, because it prevents accidental deletion of data. Others find it annoying, because it requires an extra keystroke. This and other VSS warnings are therefore entirely configurable.

You can choose whether you want to receive warnings before VSS executes the following:

• Undo checkout of a modified file
  
  
• Delete a file or project
  
  
• Destroy a file or project
  
  
• Purge a file or project
  
  
• Roll back a file
  
  
• Check out an already checked-out file — If this option is disabled, multiple checkouts are turned off — see your VSS administrator.
  
  
• Quit VSS
