Switch Target Framework in VS.NET 2010

Question

Is there a way to change the target framework of all the projects of a solution in one fell swoop? Changing the target on 18 projects is a little tedious.

Do a search on the project files for

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>

and replace with the desired version.

Can you record a macro and then loop it through all projects in the solution? (Haven't used 2k10 yet.)
