How to find a TFS alert not set up by you

Question

Someone has 'helpfully' set up a TFS 2008 Alert for a build on my behalf. I want to turn it off but no one will own up and I can't find it. Reading the docs suggests only the creator can see it. Is there anyway to find it?

Answer 1

There's a codeplex tool that I've used in the past to subscribe and unsubscribe outside of the UI:

You could also do it through the commandline using the BisSubscribe.exe tool that is installed on the TFS server.
