Visual Studio 6:

2. Start regedit (Start -> Run -> regedit) and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\Text Editor\Tabs/Language Settings\C/C++
|
|
|
|
3. Add cg to the end of the FileExtensions key (separated with a semicolon)
|
|
|
|
4. Restart Visual Studio and your shaders should now have syntax highlighting
|

NOTE: You can use the install_highlighting.reg file to simplify steps 2-3. Simply double-click on the file and press OK when prompted.
