The home page is hidden in the registry…

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\WebBrowser]
“HomePage”=”http://google.com”

Thanks for this, I also discovered it accidentally in the past and it’s quite a good feature I agree!
I would like to ask your help/opinion with another issue in SSMS (not directly related to this browser stuff but I haven’t found it on the net, probably because I don’t know the correct search words or maybe there’s no solution for it): when I right-click on a table in object explorer and “Select Top 1000 Rows” the query includes the database name in the FORM clause and the active database is master (as shown in the bar above). It’s getting annoying for me because I don’t like including the db name in a query (it needs additional typing :)) and when you work with SSIS you’d better leave out that anyway.
Do you think there’s a setting for SSMS to exclude the db name from the query and change to that database instead?
I would be grateful if you could help me!
Thanks,
MartinIsti

HA! Just when you think you know all the tricks a DBA can use in SSMS, you go ahead and stumble across something like this. I’m always surprised by just how many cool time saving features there are in the product that we often don’t know about.

Thanks for sharing.
