Management Studio Save Changes Dialog

Can anyone tell me how to get Sql Server Management Studio to stop asking me
if I want to save changes every time I shut it down?  There was an option to
stop that in Query Analyzer:  "Do not prompt for unsaved files on closure." 
If they knew enough to put that in QA, why on earth take it out for SSMS?  Or
else it's hidden so well in the options that I can't find it, and believe me,
I've looked.  Even a registry setting would be welcomed.

Your help is appreciated.

Fred,

I'm afraid that there is no such option. I have been requesting this and discussing this with MS but
nothing yet. You might want to raise your voice about this (for a later version) at
http://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver.

The prospects are bleak. I've been banging my head since early on in the
beta for SQL 2005. Last thing I heard is that they are pushing it for
the release after SQL 2008, which is nothing but a shame.

But I appreciate if you can go to
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=124686
and cast your vote, even if the issue is closed.

The last response I got really made me nuts. It does not conform to
"guidelines". As if I as a customer would care about that!

Anwyay, a Microsoft developer inspired me to a request which essentially
is a better idea: let's have nameless windows that do not require saving,
while windows tied to files still would require saving. It's on

All votes appreciated. :-)
