Generate Script in SQL 2005

In SQL2K, we can generate scripts just for PK and FK, or just Indexes.
Somehow, I could not to do that in SQL 2005, it does not give me the options
to generate only Indexes.
Any idea?This is a severe shortcoming in the tool (both not being able to right-click
the indexes node under a table and script all, and not being able to select
multiple items anywhere in Object Explorer). But thankfully, there is help
coming soon with Service Pack 2, which swaps out the Summary tab for a new
context-sensitive tab called Object Explorer Details. In this tab, when you
expand a table and highlight the Indexes node on the left, you can select
multiple items on the right, right-click them, and follow a Script > menu.
I talked about this briefly here:

Hmm, it is possible that I do not understand you , but I can highlight more
than one item (SPfor example) in Object Explorer and script them out to the
new window
I have SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition

and hold shift or control to try and click a second table, the second table
is highlighted (even if I am still holding shift or control).
Maybe you could take a screen shot of what you are talking about, because I
don't know of any node in Object Explorer that allows this (SP2 or prior).
We're talking about Management Studio here, right? Not Query Analyzer?

(!) I was talking about Object Explorer (the left pane). I never used the
Summary Tab.
And as luck would have it, I don't have a pre-SP2 server within reach to
even see what you're talking about. Again, I was talking about in Object
Explorer, which I had initially expected to allow you to select multiple
objects.

I was confused by your statement

Well, I just wanted to say that on the righ pane (Summary Tab) you can do
that
