title: Visual Studio Recovery Backup Location and Freezing
body: <p>We find that Visual Studio hangs frequently if our code is stored on a network drive. Moving to to the local drive fixed this.</p>
  
  <p>However, now we are using the Modeller, it saves recover information to </p>
  
  <p>H:\Visual Studio 2012\Backup Files</p>
  
  <p>and there seems no option to change that.</p>
  
  <p>As a result, it frequently hangs with "Saving auto recovery information".  It does eventually complete, but it takes minutes to do so.</p>
  
  <p>Our network drives work fine for other programs etc.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone else seen this and found a solution?  Is the location a registry setting?</p>
