Question about shelving/unshelving in TFS
when you shelve / unshelve items in TFS, is it private? That is, can other people see what i've shelved and even unshelve that?
If it is public, is it possible to make it private?

I shelved some source code from one machine into TFS. Is there then a way to access that code from another machine via TFS, or is it only accessible from the machine from which it was shelved?

Meaning of 'theirs' and 'mine' in unshelve conflict
