Keyboard Has Stuck Key

Problem
Keyboard has a stuck key but it can not be detected manually. Need a stuck key detector utility.

Solution
Use a utility such as Microsoft Keyboard Diagnostics (MS Key). MSKEY.EXE is a utility program that is included with the Microsoft IntelliType software. It allows you to test key response on the keyboard.

TFS Team Foundation Server Command Line Tips

How to get all items checked out to user
tf status /user:myusername /format:Detailed

How to get all items checked out to all users in a specific source location
tf status /user:* /recursive "$/My Folder1/My Folder2"

Variation: Pipe the results to the FIND command in order to filter the results. This example shows only items of change type "add".
tf status /user:* /recursive "$/My Folder1/My Folder2" | FIND " add "

How to undo other user's checkout.
Step 1) Get workspace and user name of checked out file.
tf status /user:* /format:detailed "$/My Folder1/My File1.txt"

Step 2) Undo checked out file.
tf undo /workspace:myworkspace;myusername "$/My Folder1/My File1.txt"
