Hello,

I have a VisualInterdev project under source control (VSS 6.0).  One
of the people on my team resigned, but left a file checked-out (doh!)
Not only that, but the user's name has now been wiped out of our NT
domain at work.

Is there a way to remove this file from source control (even
brute-forcing it out by deleting the appropriate files from my system
is fine) or break its lock?  I do have administrative access to the
box that VSS is running on, so that's not a problem.  I took a look at
it in the VSS GUI, but that only shows the VisualInterdev solution
file for some reason -- I'm not sure why, as I didn't set this up
originally.  I also poked around in the VSS directories, but I wasn't
sure how VSS is tracking these files.

Does anyone know how I can just get rid of this file or break the
lock?  Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thanks.
