Windows development: Right-click, Set As Startup Object?

Why is there no option in the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio .NET 2003 or even the latest Visual Studio 2005 CTP to right-click a form and select Set As Startup Object?  Having to go through Project Properties to do that seems so Visual Basic 6.

When I write Web apps I can right-click any ASPX page and select Set As Startup Page.  I don't use that feature too often for Web apps, but I regularly wish I had it during Windows app development.  Even if my app will ultimately startup from Sub Main, it's very common, at least in our office, to use various startup forms when working on different parts of the app.  It *seems* like such a simple feature to add.
