Colour coding the RDL XML in vs2005

Hi.
Does any one know how to get vs2005 to colour code rdl apart from
renaming the file xml?
Some times one just needs to check the rdl file, and looking at it in
B&W isn't easy to visually scan.

A good software to do this with is Notepad++ (open source): its a text
editor that will color code based on your language selection (i.e.,
XML, C#, HTML, etc). You can download it at: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
It works well for this sort of thing.

the Report design view, and I frequently change to see the code, cos
sometimes I just need to...
VS2005 will colour code the XML too, just not when it has an RDL
extension, I think it's MS just trying to mother us too much.
I figured there might be a reg setting I could change.
I've tried a couple in here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Text Editor\RDL
Expression
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Languages
\Language Services\RDL Expression
