Did you know that there is no way to branch the files recursively in Microsoft VSS?

Here is a work around:

From Visual SourceSafe Explorer, go to View ->Search ->WildCard Search

Then search for Wildcard: * (a single asterisk) with Search in current project and all subprojects selected.

Then it will give you a list of ALL of your files in that project. Simply highlight them all and click on the Branch button.
