Answer 1

After a bit of googling, I found this solution that does not involve modifying your code. It contains a workaround that involves modifying your .vcxproj file.

To do this from within Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express (I'm assuming it is similar for Visual Studio 2010), open your project and navigate to the following menu:

Project->$YOURPROJECTNAME Properties...
    ->Configuration Properties
        ->Linker
            ->System->SubSystem

Then use the dropdown to select Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) and apply the change.

"Start without debugging" should do the right thing now.
