Short steps to help me recall after a future system format.

Find the command prompt to copy arguments to the clipboard:
1. Click the windows button and search for "Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)".
2. Right click it and select properties.
3. Copy the "target" field to the clipboard, Ctrl-c. it should look similiar to the following:

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86

Add it to the visual studio IDE
1. On the menu bar open Tools / External Tools...
2. Click Add
3. Give it a name, such as "Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt"
4. For Command, enter

cmd.exe

5. For Arguments, paste from your clipboard, Ctrl-v:

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86

The Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt will now show up on the Tools Menu.
