    Today I find that all of my settings in SSMS 2012 from the T-SQL code in the Keyboard shortcuts to the customizatons to the toolbars/menu are all gone and or reset to their default values. I have not hit the Reset button. Has anyone heard ro seen this with SSMS? Maybe its a bug???

    I'm pretty sure the settings are stored in the

    %appdata%\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\11.0 folder in the SQLStudio.bin file.

    If you use any applications that clear out temporary files to recover some space, Like CCCleaner, it might delete some of the folders out there, and you have to reenter all your settings all over again.

    2005/2008/R2 etc are in similar folders, but the effect is the same.

    any chance something like that happened?

    I think thats exactly what happened. OUr domain is setup such that by default everything is directed to a \\HOME folder and when you don;t remeber to actively change it in somethinglike an app setting you find yourself screwed when something happens.

    Thanks
