CREATE DATABASE

Is there any way to learn default settings for path where new database
will be created on server machine if I do not specify the path explicitly,
just running on client machine:
CREATE DATABASE [testdb]This is decided by either the
Default Data Directory (Right click server | Properties | Database Settings)
If that is empty then you will still be using the default dir (DATA) from
install time
In my case this would be
D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Setup
