How to achieve this standard behavior?: msg#00134

Subject: How to achieve this standard behavior?
I'm trying to find the correct combination of VS.Net configuration settings to achieve the following behavior with vault:
 
I want to be able to do a Get Latest version at the project level and have Vault get the latest version of those files that I do not have checked out, and I want to be able to do this without being prompted to allow overwrite more than once. I have been able to achieve these requirements individually, but not at the same time
- I can set it up in such a way that it will prompt me to overwrite every file that is newer in source safe than it is on my machine. This is not desirable on large projects, or solutions with many projects that add up to a large number of files that need to be overwritten.
- I can set it up so that the command executes successfully and quietly, but it only pulls files that are new to the project (files that I don't have local copies of), and will not touch files that have been updated to a newer version by a coworker in Vault.
- I can set it up so that it will overwrite all local files silently, **even those files that I have checked out**. I can't imagine when this would be a desired outcome of a Get Latest instruction.
 
I have played with different combinations of the Modified Working Copy and Set File Time settings. I would prefer to maintain the setting to check out files automatically when a checked in file is edited (providing that it will get latest version from Vault, and overwrite the local copy). We don't use offline-edit or multiple-checkout features that might require merging of local files with the Vault repository. Is all of this achievable in Vault as it was with the default VSS setting with the Replace Writable option?
