How to query all the files checked out by a user in Visual Studio 2012 TFS

Question

This question is not a duplicate of Other users checkouts are not visible in Source Control Explorer (TFS Express)

In contrast to Other users checkouts are not visible in Source Control Explorer (TFS Express) , I can see who has checked out a specific file in Source Control Explorer.

What I want to have is a way to query where I enter the username, and get a list of files he or she has checked out.

This used to be possible in VS2010. However, I don't seem to find the equivalent dialog in Visual Studio 2012.

You can do it from the commandline, using tf.exe status

Microsoft (R) TF - Team Foundation Version Control Tool, Version 11.0.60315.1
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Displays information about pending changes to items in one or more workspaces.

tf status [itemspec] [/collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl]
          [/login:username,[password]]
          ([/workspace:workspacename[;workspaceowner]]
          | [/shelveset:shelvesetname[;shelvesetowner]])
          [/format:(brief|detailed)] [/recursive] [/user:(*|username)]
          [/nodetect]

Or using the Team foundation Server Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012.
