Dont Display dbo. in Object Explorer

Is there a way to stop SQL Server Management Studio (2005) from showing "dbo." on everything in the object explorer.

I'd love to turn that off on a database I'm working on as, for example, if you have to find tblMember, you'd have to type d-b-o-.-t-b-l-m before you can actually start jumping to the table you're interested in - whereas in Enterprise Manager (2000) you'd only have to type t-b-l-m if you get my meaning.

Hi there,

There no such option as to hide the owner of the datatable. Actually this is good because the owner is a very strong security feature SQL Server provides. You may want to have in mind who is the owner especially if you are going to host your application in a shared environment where all tables will be owned by your Sql user (which will definitely not be sa).
Sorry for bringing the bad news,
Cheers,

Andreas Botsikas
