Tfs: "File is scanned exclusively by another user" - which user?

Question

I am using Team Foundation Server 2008 and cannot add the folder to the installation project. The error is that there are 6 files: "The file is only checked by another user."

How can I find out to which user they were extracted and when they were extracted?

I suspect that this is a former employee who worked on this project. Either this, or my mistake.

Answer 1

In Team Explorer, double-click "Source Control".

You will see the source code explorer. Under your collection, you can expand your project. In the right pane, you will see the following columns: name, pending changes and user, etc.
