Turning off debugger in Visual Studio 2008

This may sound like a heresy :), but I mos开发者_运维百科tly program in fortran (intel 10) and have actually no need for Visual Studio Debugger. Or at least, never have gotten used to it.

So to put it shortly, where does one turn it off ? Is it even possible ?

Use Ctrl+F5 to start running without the debugger. This can also be accessed from the Debug menu, as "Start without debugging".

You can also change the project configuration from Debug to Release, as explained here.

You probably mean Visual Studio 2008 (sorry, stupid remark).

Do you want to get rid of the "Do you want to start the debugger" question if your application crashes? In that case, you may want to look at the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug". You will find there entries to configure this popup (appear or not, which application to start at crash, ...).

[Debug - Start without Debugging] or Ctrl F5. Or launch your app outside Visual Studio.
