Does anyone know of an add in for SSMS that provides additional functionality for registered server groups?

Looks like this will help you...
The latest changelog says "Added support for Registered Servers functionality of SSMS "

Hi, here is SSMSBoost developer.
Yes, we support registered servers and have added some additional functionality on them (see our website and check context menu on registered servers nodes).
If you have further ideas/requirements feel free to write me here on on our support address. If it will be something "easy" we might even include it in release that we are going to do in mid of December.

Thank you both - the SSMSBoost was the first and only one I found prior to posting, but I couldn't find a good description for "•Added support to Registered Servers functionality". Would appreciate any info or link you can provide.
Thanks!

Well, you are right, it is not well described. The description is in changelog. Here it is:
-Added support for Registered Servers functionality of SSMS (View->Registered Servers):
-Added "Expand All"/"Collapse All" commands to "Local Server Groups" context menu as well as for
all subfolders.
-Added commands to context menu of registered servers:
-Set as active connection - makes connection active in current SQL Editor window
-Add to preferred connections - adds registered server to SSMSBoost preferred connections
list
-Improved connection coloring logic (Status bar coloring logic), concerning Registered Servers
support. Status bar color for current connection of SQL Editor window will be determined in the
following sequence:
-Match current database with databases from preferred connections
-Match current database with databases from registered servers
-Match current server with servers from preferred connections
-Match current server with servers from registered servers
-Default status bar color from SSMS Settings
Feel free to propose new functionality. Listed items were just proposals from our users who wanted to have that features.

Great - Thanks. I will check it out.
So no support for SQL 2005?

No support for SSMS 2005, but you can work with SQL 2005 through SSMS 2008 or SSMS 2012.
Newer versions of SSMS are much better and you can use them for free, so why use older versions ?

That's what I was hoping. I will be using it with SSMS 2012. Thanks!
