VS 2008 and Team Explorer- checked out files

how to search for files checked out by other users in vs 2008 Team Explorer. I can search for all the files checked out in a project in Visual Source Safe by doing a search, Is there a similar functionality implemented in team explorer? Right now I have to click on every folder and see if files from that folder are checked out by any one else or not.

Thanks

How do I show Explorer in Visual Studio?

By default, the Solution Explorer tool window appears as a pane in the upper-right side of the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). If you don't see the Solution Explorer tool window, you can open it from the Visual Studio menu bar by using View > Solution Explorer, or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L.

Add this command into the "External Tools..." list of VS.

Tools >> External Tools… Select “Add” and enter the following: Title: “View all checked-out files” Command: “tf.exe” Arguments: “status $(ProjectDir) /user:* /recursive “ Check “Use Output window” Un-check “Prompt for arguments” Select “OK”.

Get the TFS Power Tools - they integrate into the Team Explorer view. You'll get a list of people on the team. You can right click the team members and see their current changesets.

You can check out the TFS Power Tools on the Microsoft site here - the October 2008 edition has the Team Members functionality.

The Attrice TFS Sidekicks can be used to get some info not displayed in VS. I believe the Status view will display what you are after: http://www.attrice.info/cm/tfs
