You can change the Solution Configuration to 'Release', which strips the majority of debugging information, but no matter what you do, if you execute it within the IDE it will take control of it to a certain extent.

If I want to run a console app without interference from the IDE I just open another command prompt, cd to the debug/release directory (as appropriate) and execute it from there.
