Way I do this is I have TortosieHG installed and then in visual studios express i went to Tools>External Tools.

I created the following enteries:

Title: HG New Repositry 
Command: C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\hgtk.exe
Arguments: --nofork init Initial
directory: $(SolutionDir)

Title: HG Commit 
Command: C:\Program  Files\TortoiseHg\hgtk.exe 
Arguments: --nofork init Initial directory: $(SolutionDir)

I then added the two external tools to the toolbar. Now I don't get as nice intergration as I would with the full version of visual studios but I can commit source code and create a source repository without leaving Visual Studios.
