TFS Project Folders and Workspaces

In Source Control Explorer, one way to map separate folders to separate local paths, perhaps on a separate drive e.g., is to use Workspaces.

Do File, Source Control, Workspaces, Add Workspace. Name the Workspace as appropriate, e.g. "My Projects." Select the TFS project folder, and the corresponding Local folder. Click OK.

This way you can separate your local files on a separate local root folder, (e.g. c:\My Projects") from folders other team members own (e.g. mapping of c:\Other projects).
