Remove initial dialog in SQL Server Management Studio

Tags:

ssms

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

Tools -> Options -> Startup

At Startup: Open empty Environment.

Startup Options

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.
