I've been searching on-and-off for a Visual Studio add-in that would allow to highligh a current line in IDE text editor, like so

this line is highlighted

Here's a small collection of Visual Studio 2005 add-ins that includes the highlighter:

Thanks to David Vidmar's posting that I googled accross when looking for this tool.

Here's some more Visual Studio utilities:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 IDE Enhancements that include:

Source Code Outliner : The Source Outliner tool is a Visual Studio extension that provides a tree view of your source code's types and members and lets you quickly navigate to them inside the editor.

Visual C++ Code Snippets:The Visual C++ Code Snippets tool lets you insert snippets in your code by using a pop-up menu that contains programming keywords. VB.NET and C# languages have this functionality in Visual Studio 2005.

Indexed Find : The Indexed Find tool is a Visual Studio extension that uses the Microsoft Indexing Service to provide improved Search capabilities to the integrated development environment (IDE). It sends the results of a search to the Output Window.

Super Diff Utility: The Super Diff Find tool is a Visual Studio extension that compares text files. It uses color coding and graphics to show the difference between the files in deleted text (red), changed text (blue), inserted text (green).

Event Toaster Utility: The Event Toaster tool is a Visual Studio extension that notifies users about specific events within the Visual Studio IDE

Unfortunately following MSDN solution did not solve the problem for me :(

However, Chris Dunaway (a member of MSDN Forums), posted this caspol line that worked just fine

caspol -m -ag All_Code -url file://server/share/* FullTrust -n SecurityGroupName

MSDN solution adds a new code group as a child of LocalIntranet_Zone, so this didn't work for me. However, the line above adds a new code group to All_Code node and this I believe fixed the problem.

Now, whether I open a solution from a UNC path or a mapped network drive of the added file://server/share/* path, I have no  "The Project Location Is Not Trusted" warning.

PS
I was using VS2005 SP1 running on Vista Bussines Edition
