Quick-switching startup projects in Visual Studio 2012

In my application I often need to change the startup project from the UI shell to the tests and vice-versa.

I know that by using the context menu in Solution Explorer, I can right-click and select a project as the start-up project. However, there are many projects in my solution and this is time-consuming.

In VS 2010 I had macros to do this, but now they have been removed.

The question is: In VS2012 is there a faster way to switch startup projects than finding them and using the right-click menu? I will accept any answer (extensions, scripts etc)

For that purpose I created the VS extension SwitchStartupProject that adds a toolbar dropdown box to switch the startup project.
