The only way I know to do it is to hack a registry setting.

To switch Source code controller providers set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\ProviderRegKey to one
of the data values listed under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders
(only installed source control systems will be listed here).

For example:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\ProviderRegKey =
Software\Atria\ClearCase             for Clear Case

And

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\ProviderRegKey =
Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe           for Visual SourceSafe

Use at your own risk (I've used it on several times with no bad effects)

Where do you find options to change providers? All I see are options to
change settings for my installed provider.
