On occasion, I'll end up checking in a file to our TFS db that I didn't intend to. Reverting to the prior version is quite tedious with my current approach. If there a fast way to revert a file to a prior version in TFS? I'm open to command line, powertool, or UI approaches. ...

I've seen the post about disabling work item creation on all failed builds, but I'd like to have TFS only create a work item on the first failure. We have a very complicated legacy system that involves VB6 COM components and frequently have build failures on the build server that track back to some funkiness VB6 does with binary files (...
