But you get the idea.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">I&#39;m working over a 3G USB wireless connection and every time I want to save a file, the performance was dire. Opening the Save File As dialog box was fine, but clicking on any directory would take about 10 seconds, with the little disk icon flashing. I thought I remembered a setting that stopped it, but was thinking of the old problem with 2005 SSMS where it tried to connect up to Microsoft whenever it was opened.&nbsp;After searching around on Google for 5 minutes fruitlessly and then posting a question on #sqlhelp on twitter, Kimberly&nbsp;guessed the answer.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">SSMS tries to connect to each disconnected network drive in turn, for every click in the Save File As wizard.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">How utterly crappy is that? Why on earth would it try to connect to disconnected network drives? They&#39;re *DISCONNECTED*!!!!<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">For the record, Windows Explorer and every other tool I tried does the right thing. Except SSMS. I dug around more extensively on Google and found that other people have experienced the same thing &#8211; and only in SSMS.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">The only fix is to remove the network drives altogether. Sigh.
