How to check files checked out by you across all applications
We have all gotten ourselves in situations where Visual studio automatically checks out files when opening a solution, even though we did not mean to make any changes to those projects.
This happens because your local version was different from the version in VSS, Visual Studio prompts an alert box asking if it should merge/checkout/ignore the first time, based on your selection it does this same selection for ever.
VSS allows for users to search for all files that have been checked out by any given user, so that we don’t have a file locked up accidentally for ever or until somebody needs it.
· Log in to VSS using VSS client(not visual studio)
· From menus on top: Select View >> Search >> Status Search
· Under Status Search: Select “Display files checked out by user” and select your user-id
· Under Search Area: Select “Search in all projects”
