In Visual Source Safe 6.0, you could "reset" a working folder by setting it to a blank string. This meant that the working folder would be determined by the working folder of the parent.
How do I do this in Visual Source Safe 2005?

This can't be done in the normal VSS 2005 "Set Working Folder" dialog.
However, if you hold the shift key while invoking the "Set Working Folder" dialog, it shows the old VSS 6.0 dialog. Here you can reset the working folder by deleting the string and pressing OK.

to answer my own question, one way I found was to edit the ss.ini file that lives per user on the VSS server where the db resides – AZ Chad Jul 30 '15 at 20:42

If VS2005 still uses the .ini files you can delete the working folder record from the file and it will inherit it from the parent.

Working folders are stored on a per user, per project, per machine basis. They are stored in the
\users\ – AZ Chad Jul 30 '15 at 20:43\ folder, in a file called ss.ini. check here for more info: http://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/jonsayce/archive/2007/09/13/visual-sourcesafe-resetting-working-folders.aspx
