Visual SourceSafe - Disable “Get Latest On Checkout”

Question

I looked for an option to switch off "Get Latest On Checkout" in Visual SourceSafe 2005 and integrated VS2008 menus, but couldn't find one. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Open the Visual Source Safe Administration Console, then click on Tools->Options. On the general tab there is the setting Only allow checkouts of the latest version. Uncheck it.

Now open the Visual SourceSafe Explorer, click on Tools->Options and uncheck Always check out the working folder version of files.

Now you should be done.
