List of files with pending changes in VS2008/TFS to clipboard

Question

When I right-click a solution in VS2008 and select Check In... I am presented with a list of changed files with check boxes and a comment area. (This is done against TFS.)

Our check-in process requires that we enter this list of changed files into the bug tracking ticket. This requires typing in the name of each each file: time-consuming and error prone.

Ideally I'd like to be able to select that list and copy it to the clipboard so that I can paste it into the bug tracking system.

Does anybody have a way that I can easily get that list into the clipboard?

I use SnagIt for such things, it is really an amazing application. They have non-free versions and a free version (instructions here). I don't know how I lived without it, honestly.

Among its features is the ability to scrape text from a window (like Windows Explorer folder view) which will probably meet your needs.
