Prompt for certain Record Types on New Opportunity List Button
I am trying to create a new list button on opportunity where the user should be prompted to choose from 3 of our currently 7 opportunity record types. I have to clue where to even begin solving this. My Button is currently defined as follows:
/006/e?
ent=Opportunity
&retURL=%2F{!Contact.Id}
&accid={!Account.Id}
&opp3={!Contact.Name} - Donation {!YEAR( TODAY() )}
&opp9={!TODAY()}
&opp11=Prospect ID
When the button is used it defaults to the master Record Type, but I want to design the button so it prompts the user to select the Record Type from a subset of types.
Any suggestions ideas are welcome. At a minimum I would like to at least have the user prompted to select any of the current record types.

You can try to have your list button link directly to the record type selection screen for opportunities and then take the user back to the contact record upon save (which it looks like you're trying to do):
'/setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=Opportunity&nooverride=1&save_new_url=%2F{!Contact.Id}'
