1. For easy set up, SourceSafe is an option. The latest version(s) allow you

option, IMO.

I used to use SourceSafe a couple of years back and all I have to show for
it are grey hairs. Mysterious database corruption, files that woulde fuse
to check in/check out, getting the latest versions and discovering 100
miles later that it never actually got the latest versions ... SourceSafe
needs to be weighted and buried at sea

2. For more Enterprise level control, without the TFS cost, there are open
source repositories like CVS and Subversion and pay repositories.

Open Source: Of the two, I have enjoyed Subversion more. This is partially a
familiarity issue, so take my advice here with a grain of salt. On the
project I worked on with CVS, I was not in control of the Repository.

Take subversion any day of the week. This is what I use now. It addresses
many of the problems of CVS, the biggest one being that with CVS if
something happened during a commit you'd be left in a mixed state with some
files committed and some not. In subversion commits are atomic.

You can get good shell integration with TortoiseSVN and visual studio
integration with AnkhSVN or even better, Visual SVN (though that's not
free)
