Alright, before railing on me about this and telling me how stupid it is to create this because a simple MSN/Google search would reveal tons of already-available solutions, I admit to having not found any that I really like. I therefore took the liberty of creating two little .REG files that give you VS.NET 200x Command Prompt Here context menu shortcuts to the folder/drive/directory that you select. There is a version for VS.NET 2003 and another for VS.NET 2005.
Feel free to download the .ZIP file here. Simply run the appropriate .REG file by double-clicking it (you must have Administrator privileges) and wallah! (er, voila!) you have your shortcuts. NOTE: these files will alter your system registry (though just slightly). No guarantee is implied. Just because it works great on my machine doesn't imply it will work universally, though I don't not see it working.
Note, both of these rely on their respective environment variables, notably %VS71COMNTOOLS% and %VS80COMNTOOLS%.
Very simple, I know, but effective and without all the other hassle and fluff...just simple, clean shortcuts.
