How to run app from VC++ without debug?

I'm trying to learn to love Visual C++ 2010 Express, but it is difficult! I've just created a "Hello world" console app and compiled it - no problems. I now want to run it. It seems the only option open to me is to run it in the debugger - there is a "Run" button on the toolbar but it is disabled. I don't want to debug it - I really don't like debuggers! Is there any way of just running the app from inside the VS IDE?

If you want to have a "Start Without Debugging" icon on the menu bar instead of in the drop-down Debug menu (even if Tools->Settings = "Basic Settings"), do this:

Tools->Customize->Commands->(choose Menu bar)->Add Command->Debug->Start Without Debugging->ok.

Then Move Up/Down if you want to change its position.

If you can't see the "Start Without Debugging" command in the toolbar, go to "Tools -> Settings -> Expert Settings". Basic Settings hides lots of stuff you probably want to see.

Professional version of VC2010 doesn't seem to have this switch.

  • Open the Tools menu
  • Go to Customize
  • Switch to the Commands tab
  • Select the Debug category
  • Drag the "Start Without Debugging" command to the Debug menu item

Edit: Full disclosure, I don't actually have VC++2010 Express installed on this computer, so I'm just sort of winging it here.
