AttachDB
AttachDB is (for now) free utility designed for everyone who has to work (better - live) with Microsoft SQL Server. Moving databases from one server from another is tedious and often required (or just copying database files). AttachDB will allow you to attach and detach databases from Explorer by right clicking on MDF file.
If you have to move just five databases from one server to another, count for yourself how many times do you have to click to do this in SQL Managment Studio.
Currently it only works with SQL 2005 (shell integration will not work on SQL 2000, contact us for a fix).
Current version is available for download here.

ToDo list:
- select multiple MDF files direct from Explorer
- support for SQL backup files
