How to get Resharper to use Visual Studio's snippets

I installed Resharper in VS2008 and it seems to have taken over some of the snippets I've come to rely on. For instance, prop, foreach, etc...

How can I tell Resharper to let VS2008 use its own snippets or at least not to overwrite snippets that already exist.
Better yet, is there a way to selectively tell Resharper which snippets it can overwrite and which it shouldn't?

I know about the Live Templates menu item that lets you pick and choose, but after deselecting 'foreach', for example, VS (or probably Resharper) treats it as a function. In other words, when I type 'fore' and hit tab for autocomplete, I end up with 'foreach()' instead of the snippet operation.

Thanks

Resharper is great in some respects, but in others it can be unbelievably frustrating when it just rides roughshod over years of muscle memory.

Options => Environment => IntelliSense => Completion Behavior => [Uncheck] "Replace Keywords with Live Templates"

Since ReSharper 4 Visual Studio code snippets are imported into ReSharper as live templates. That means you can invoke any code snippet by pressing Ctrl+J.

All the scripts imported in Vs are available on this popup menu.

I know I am late to the party but you can use snippet editor to copy your snippet then paste it into Resharper through the live template editor. The code appears to be compatible. I did that with several of mine and it works just fine.

You can uncheck the ones that you don't want to use from Live Templates window. foreach template is under iterations group.
