Quickest way to find the SQL Server Templates Location?

If you use SQL Server Templates,  you probable will want to backup up your scripts or copy the files to a new computer so you don’t lose all of your work.  The problem is the location of the files can vary depending on your version of SQL Server and no one can memorize the folder location.   However there is a quick way.

 

 

Right click on SQL Server Templates folder in the Template BrowserSQL Server Templates

Select Search

Search Templates

Type “a” into the search window

search

Notice the search goes out to the location of the templates. In my case it is

C:\Users\rileyt\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\12.0\Templates\SQL

Now I can go out to the folder,copy and backup my templates.
