    Congratulations for the release of the new TFS Power Tools. I'm quite excited about the Explorer Shell Extensions, besides the login problems I have.

    Will the sources eventually be published on CodePlex (has been promised by a MS sales member on a TFS seminar) or is there any possibility to add user menus to the shell extensions ?

    We badly need the old behavior of source safe, to keep the sources checked out on a login.
    I've managed to write some kind of simulation of the behaviour by checkin all sources in immediately check them out again.
    It would be fine if I could add this as another menu to the TFS Explorer Shell Extensions.


    Best regards and thank you in advance, 
    Andre Kaufmann

    Hi AndreK
     

    Currently, I'm not aware of the plan to put power tool on CodePlex. As a workaround, you should be able to extend windows shell to add context menu items. MSDN document Creating Context Menu Handlers might be helpful.
