How do I revert a file in TFS

On occasion, I'll end up checking in a file to our TFS db that I didn't intend to. Reverting to the prior version is quite tedious with my current approach.

If there a fast way to revert a file to a prior version in TFS? I'm open to command line, powertool, or UI approaches.

You need to install the power tools:

If you don't want to use the command line, or install the tools, you can also do it in an old-school way:
