Visual Studio 2005 marks files locked (CVS style)

Hello.
Help me please. I'm using CVS development style and VS solution explorer doesn't mark files changed localy with any corresponding icon - it still painted with "locked" icon. But new files are displayed with appropriate "plus" icons.

Why changed files is not marked as changed? Why all files marked as locked after "Get latest version" even if CVS style was chosen in Vault client options and at ""Get latest version" dialog option "Make all files writable is set?

Thank you.

The problem is that Visual Studio locks you into the VSS style (it assumes checked in files are read-only and you have to check a file out before checking it in). CVS style is only available via the Vault GUI client, since VS doesn't support it.
