Visual Studio 2013 Set as start up project does not change the project

I have several projects in the solution. When I set the "Set as start up project" (In VS 2013) to the Console application project and when I hit F5, it sets the start up project to a particular class library project (Class Library 1). I cannot change the start up project from "Class Library 1" to anything else. I tried to change the start up project by right clicking the project as well as right clicking the solution and then set the start up project from there.

When I set the start up project as the "Console App1" project, it indicates that it has been selected properly (bold the project name). But once I hit F5, it tries to execute "Class Library 1" (bold the Class Library project) and gives an error (A project with Output Type of Class Library cannot be started directly).

I tried to delete the .suo file and open up the solution, still I am getting the issue. Where is the start up project details are stored? Could not find any clue inside the sln file as well. Any ideas?

Ok, found the issue. Forgot to mention that I am using Resharper. There was a resharper "dotSettings" file (.sln.DotSettings.user) in the solution directory which has the following entry,

<s:String
x:Key="/Default/RunConfigs/Config/=9DF93B60D662E841A397F5FDE870C414/Name/@EntryValue">Class Library 1</s:String>

Solution is to delete this file. (Changing this entry did not solve the issue.)
