    Is there a way to stop a console app from asking "Press Any Key to Continue" when it is done executing code. All I'm doing is setting a key in the registry and don't really want any user input.

    That's VC++ doing that. If you run the program normally the console window will immediately close as soon as it's finished. VC++ pauses it to allow you to read the output. If you go to your project folder and run the program it's fine.

    No. When you press the execute button it runs a different program which runs your program. When your program finishes the first program puts the message and waits.

    If you press F5 to run it through the debugger, it doesn't do it. If you press Ctrl-F5 to run the program externally, it does...although if there is a setting to turn it off I haven't found it

    Despite all evidence that I shouldn't, I normally develop in Release mode, and run them externally...and only use debug builds when it doesn't work
