问题
Our local IT has our My Documents folder on a network path. This causes a problem from MSQL Server management studio as it saves it auto recovery information every 10 min it will lock up as its doing its save.
I found where VS2008 saved its setting but I can not find out how to change it out of My Documents for this. Does anyone know where that setting is located?

Unfortunately, at least for VS2005 and VS2008 (and I think for VS2010, but I haven't checked there), this cannot be changed from the system's "My Documents" folder. This is terribly annoying, I agree, as we have our My Docs folder set to a network share. When we're on VPN, the network connection is very slow, so the auto-recovery feature isn't instantaneous and blocks the UI.
I found this feedback on Microsoft Connect that indicates the inability to change the setting: Saving Auto Recover Information in Visual Studio 2008 SP1
There are few "alternatives." You could, of course, turn off Auto-Recovery, but that's not generally recommended. What I've ultimately decided to do is simply increase the time interval between auto-saves. This is found under Tools\Options\Environment\AutoRecover (in VS2008), which is the same place you would go to turn it on/off.
Of course, in SQL Server Management Studio, there is no Environment\AutoRecover section in the options. However, if we remember that SSMS uses the Visual Studio core (and we're comfortable with a bit of registry hacking), we can adjust the time interval for SSMS, as well.
VS uses a REG_DWORD value named "AutoRecover Save Interval" to store the number of minutes between auto-saves. Just add that value to the following key in the registry (this is for SSMS2008). I set mine to 60 because I don't usually do much super-critical work in SSMS, but you can set it to a value that suites you.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\General\AutoRecover
I realize this isn't really a solution to the original issue, but I think it's at least a viable alternative.
