Add a new string value to  
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\NativeDE\StepOver  
(in the Windows registry), set the name to "Boost" (doesn't really matter  
though) and the value to "boost\:\:.*" (that matters!). There is some more  
information about this undocumented function at
