Answer 1

There are several levels of excluding files in TFS:

1. Manually by excluding a file or folder on the check-in dialog.
2. Manually by excluding a file or folder on the Add items to Folder dialog.

3. On the Add items to Folder dialog > Automatically exclude from source control:
   Note: the default items can be modified using the registry.

4. On the team project source control level using a check-in policy.

5. On the source control permissions level: Source Control > Mark a folder > Security > Deny Check-In permission
6. On the workspace level by cloaking.
