Entering "View in Browser" and "Browse With ..." context menus in classic .asp files in VS?

Some bad legacy web application projects still have classic asp files. this project consists of 95% classic .asp files and the rest is just asp.net (.aspx).

if you right click on the .aspx file in VS solution explorer you can select "view in browser" and "view with ..." .

however, if I right click on the classic .asp file there, there is no such option!

Do you have a hint / hint / addition for me to have it display these two context menu items also for .asp files?

I am running all my projects in IIS, not build in VS webserver website development, using thanks toebens

The problem is that VS includes a Cassini web server from which it can deliver the execution of ASPX files. However, it does not include a processor for ASP pages, for which you need to run ASP pages in IIS, so there is no simple "Display in Browser" since VS has no idea what URL the browser should request.
