SUMMARY
=======

Visual SourceSafe contains the ability to open the Visual SourceSafe Explorer to
a specific project.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To open Visual SourceSafe at a specific project you use -P switch. For example:

  C:\app\ss50\win32\SSEXP.EXE -p$/Juniper/Specs

NOTE: If a project name contains spaces you need to put quotation marks around
the entire path to the project:

  C:\app\ss50\win32\SSEXP.EXE -p"$/Juniper/Specs Revision"

This can also be combined with the -S switch to open a specific database to a
specific project. For example:

  C:\app\ss50\win32\SSEXP.EXE -s\\fs1\scc\sslib -p$/Juniper/Specs

You can also create a Shortcut in Windows 95 or Windows NT to automatically bring
up a specific project when you double-click it.
