How to keep IIS Express running after finished debugging?

I'm using IIS 7 express to test a ASP.Net MVC 3 project on my development machine and normally it keeps running after I finished debugging, which is a good thing so that I can perform small tests directly in the browser without needing to run the project again.

But if I choose the option "Enable edit and continue" on the project properties IIS 7 will only run while debugging the project. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Just in case if you need this feature (IIS to continue running) in ASP.NET Web Forms, instead of pressing F5 (Run), right-click the start page in Solution Explorer and select 'View in browser'.

There is global setting in Visual Studio to have 'Edit and Continue' to be off by default for all new projects under Options > Debugging > Edit and Continue.

No, because in order to achieve this, Visual Studio uses a hosting environment that interprets the code being executed.

So, it is only available while debugging.
