| Okay, my co-worker has a file checked out, and is seeing what we think is an actual, honest-to-God compiler bug in .NET 2003. I'd like to quickly mark that file as RW at my desk, and try the same thing he's doing. It would be nice if VAX had a menu item to toggle the Read-Only flag. |

VS2003.NET | Tools | Options... | Environment | Documents -> check "Allow editing of read-only files, warn when attempt to save"
Thats all you need. |

Thanks, but that doesn't do what I need.
The problem is that my co-worker, "Bob", has file "Foo.h" checked out. On my disk, of course, "Foo.h" is Read-Only. I should mention that I have "Tools, Options, Source Control, Prompt for Checkout when checked-in items are edited" set.
So if I try to edit "Foo.h", I get the message box "File foo.h is already checked out by another user. Continue?" I don't trust VSS near enough to try having two people checking the same file out at once - (call me paranoid, but I can barely get then damn thing to work right with only one person checking out at once.  ) So I'm stuck with having to find it in Explorer, right click on it, uncheck the checkbox, and then get back to VS.
So what I really want is just a quick way to toggle that R/O attribute on my disk...

 ok, got it. Although I had never any troubles with VSS and multiple checkouts (given that it is properly set up and configured), it should not be too hard to make a small macro that does the trick. |

How about right-clicking on the folder that contains the file (in the solution explorer), selecting "Add new..." and then right-clicking on the file from there? That would likely be quite a bit faster than navigating all the way from "My Computer" in explorer. But, then again, if you have a complex file heirarchy for your code tree, maybe not too much faster....
