Can't clear the VSS Working Directory in VSS2005

In VSS 6.0d, I can clear the working folder for any given project/subproject by simply setting it to a blank entry. This allows me to remove/reset the working folder of a subproject, which in turn causes it to inherit the working directory of its parent.

In VSS2005, when I clear the textbox for the "set working folder", the "save" button is disabled.

Is there an option to turn this feature back on in VSS 2005 I really miss that! I need to be able to manually control the working folders when using the VSS UI.

    You can get the old dialog by keeping the Shift key pressed when clicking SetWorking Folders or by editing the ss.ini file for your VSS user and adding a line "Classic_Dialogs =yes". In the later case the AddFile/BrowseForFolder/SetWorkingFolders dialogs willl use the VSS6 style permanently.
    To reset working folders you can also manually modify your ss.ini file and manually remove the working folders mapping you want to clear out.
