Answer 1

Ultimately, you do need to check out files before they can be checked in. There's a couple of ways to do this - if you know exactly which files you've modified, you can simply check them out with the UI or with the command line client.

Of course, it's much easier to just let TFS determine which files you've modified and check them out for you. You can use the Team Foundation Server Power Tools to scan your local disk for changes that were made using the command:

tfpt online

This will locate files that were modified and not checked out as well as files that were added to your disk that don't have a corresponding add pended and files that were removed that don't have a corresponding delete pended. You can then choose to pend any or all of those changes to the server and then checkin.

Answer 2

Make a copy of the modified files to another directory, check the files out that you have modified, then copy over the files with the new/modified ones and then check them back in.
