Microsoft says:
To access the Code Snippets Manager:
On the Tools menu, click Code Snippets Manager.

But I my Tools menu, this option doen't exist. Why ?

I have VS 2005 Professinal Edition 8.0.50727.42 (RTM 0.50727-4200) and .NET
Framework 2.0.50727 shiped by MSDN Universal Subscription.

Thanks.

Hmmm...

I'm also running VS 2005 Pro and I have the menu entry.
What settings did you select the first time VS 2005 ran? I'm running the
General Development settings.
To check your settings and/or change them:

Tools->Import and Export Settings...
In the dialog, select Reset All Settings, then save your old settings or not
(your choice).
Next->Next-> Then choose General Development Settings.
If the choice is now there, fine. If not, you may want to try a repair
install of VS 2005.

Really worked!

When I imported the saved settings, the option desapeared ... the I think a
bit and decide to select the custumize option in the Tools menu ... there,
you can configure what options are available for each of the menus/tollbars
....

Then, with my current settings I draged the Code Snippets Manager to the
Tolls menu (very nice this customization in VS 2005) and all is fine now.

Thanks,

Hello Lucas,

Yes, for any commands you missed on the VS 2005 menu items, you can use the
"Tools--->customize..." item to locate it in the commands collection and
add it onto the corresponding menu again. Here is a forum thread which also
mentioned the problem you met:

Anyway, glad that you've found it out yourself.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,
