how to add highlighted keywords in msvc

I have no intention of changing the syntax of anything or making the keyword be treated any differently during compilation. All I want is to have the token of my choice turn blue when i type it in msvc for my own visual purposes. Most IDE's allow for this kind of functionality, and i don't see why msvc, with all it's various bell's and whistles, does not. I would go and use another IDE, if intellisense wasn't so darn helpful -_-. Any help here gents?

btw, already found this link. devenv.exe doesn't exist -_- .

edit: should also mention that i'm using msvc++ express. Think this is only available if i pay?

I changed my_var to be always in red (using VS C++ 2010 Express):
