How To Set SQL Server And VS Default Folder Paths?

Ive just installed VS2005 Pro and SQL Server Developer edition.

Now I want to set the default paths for project, templates, settings. But I want for both VS and SQL files.

For example, right now the default folders for SQL Studio are:

.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjects

.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioSettings

.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioTemplates

.My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioBackup Files

... and so on.



For VS Studio:

.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projects

.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Templates

.My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Code Snippets

... and so on.

I would like for all sub-folders(from SQL Server and VS) to be in one same folder(Development), for example:

.My DocumentsDevelopmentProjects

.My DocumentsDevelopmentSettings

.My DocumentsDevelopmentTemplates

.My DocumentsDevelopmentBackup Files

.My DocumentsDevelopmentCode Snippets

... and so on.



I have tried changing in each application´s options the default path for each one, pointing to each folder I listed above.

My problem is that both VS and SQL Server still keeps creating folders in the old locations, for example: ".My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjects". This example happens when I create a new query, and try to save it, it automatically creates that folder.

It only works for a few of them, like the settings folder. Ive managed to create a single folder for SQL and VS setting files.



Is there a way I can join both Application folders? I want to keep both projects files in one folder, both setting files in one folder, and so on...

I hope I explained well my situation.

Thanks!
