Visual Studio Does Not Recognize .SHTML Extension

Visual Studio .NET 2003 cannot read SHTML files. I just want it to color the markup properly (as it colors HTML files markup). It does not and IMHO, it is a bug.

Workaround:

1. Make folder in registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Languages\File Extensions\.shtml].
2. Copy/paste 2 keys from the .html folder down there, restart vs, and it works. (be careful with registry).
