Get everything when a solution or project is opened

If selected, when you open a solution or project file, Team Foundation version control performs a get operation and downloads the files to your workspace. Get latest forces out of date to be retrieved. The operation uses a tf get command. For more information, see Get Command.

Check in everything when closing a solution or project

If selected, when you close a solution or project file, Team Foundation version control prompts the user to check-in items. Closing an item checks in all items for the specified solution or project in both the working folder and subfolders. 

Display silent check out command in menus

If selected, Visual Studio Team System displays the Check Out for Edit Now command on the File menu. Select Check Out for Edit Now to suppress the Check Out dialog box.

Keep items checked out when checking in

If selected, when you perform a check-in operation, Team Foundation version control keeps the files checked out. The latest version of your working items are saved to Team Foundation version control, but the items remain checked out to you.
