I'd like to remove the initial "Connect to Server" dialog that pops-up at the startup.
As I prefer using the "Registered Servers" list to access my servers, that dialog is simply annoying.
I'm using SQL Server Management Studio 2012, if thats important.
Thanks
I am using SSMS v18. 4, and this solution worked for me. open Connect to Server > open Server name dropdown list and delete all saved logins.
Open the Connect to Server dialog (File->Connect Object Explorer, Object Explorer->Connect->Database Engine, etc.). Click on the Server Name field drop down list's down arrow. Hover over the items you want to remove. Press the delete (DEL) key on your keyboard.
Well, the solution to rest the SSMS layout is very simple. One can do it in split seconds. To restore the default configuration, on the Window menu, click Reset Window Layout.
Tools -> Options -> Startup
At Startup: Open empty Environment.
It's actually Object Explorer and/or a query window and/or activity monitor that's asking for you to connect - so it has something to work with. All of the options other than "Open empty environment" require some kind of connection to work.
