The easiest solution:

Add a new tab to VS.NET's toolbox and drag the snippets onto the tab. Later
you can drag back snippets into the text editor.

That's gold. Such a simple solution!

Sorry, I'm easily pleased

Another way is to search Google for one of the hundreds of snippet databases
on the Internet. Some of them are FREE

Me personally have all my snippets/applications on DVD's, which will soon be
available for purchase on the Internet. One thing about them though. Every
single code snippet/write ups are all my own work.

Anyway, go for the database option is my advice

I have a "Word" document entitled "Code Samples" that I store code snippets
in. You can use the Word Headings 1 and 2 to quickly create a table of
contents. I keep this updated with all the code snippets that I find on
newsgroups, create myself, etc. It is really handy.
