[Boost-users] Is there a way to avoid manually adding each lib dir?

boost for dummies question here:

When I use boost with VC 7.1, if I link to a lib, I have to include the 
header, get the compiler error, copy the enormous name of the lib onto 
the clipboard, then search in c:\boost_1_33_1\bin for that lib. Then I 
select the properties of that file, copy the enormous directory name, 
then open the visual studio project, and add the enormous directory name 
to the list of directories in which to look for libs. Repeat for each 
lib linked to.

I tried adding
        e:\boost_1_33_1\bin\boost\libs,
        e:\boost_1_33_1\bin\boost, 	
        e:\boost_1_33_1\bin
        e:\boost_1_33_1
as lib directories. That didn't help.

Is there a less process with fewer manual steps?

Thanks,

Andy
