Ever want to build Visual Studio solutions quickly, but without having to open Visual Studio or pulling up a command prompt and typing msbuild on the solution? You know, like right-clicking and choosing a build option?

Like this?

Just copy and paste the following into a file (msbuild.reg) and run it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\shell\msbuild]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\shell\msbuild\command]
@="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\MSBuild.exe\" /target:Rebuild \"%1\""

Remember that this will only work on Visual Studio 2005 solutions. Because solution files go through a launcher to decide whether or not to open in Visual Studio 2003 or Visual Studio 2005, I don't know if you could specify for this to only apply to 2005 solutions.

Any ideas?
