Suppressing command-line from Visual Studio (05/08) output

Question

I'm trying to suppress the command-line from the output in Visual Studio - my plan is to add /nologo to the command-line - but I can't find a place in the application settings or in the IDE settings to do this.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but would really appreciate any enlightenment.

Edit: What is causing me the problem can best be described by the following scenario:

• I have a solution with multiple projects
• I hit F7, to build all (or all currently configured to build via the Configuration Manager)
• I hit F4 to step through the warnings/errors in the project(s)

• At the start of every project's output (which is usually 0 warnings and 0 errors) is a statement such as the following:

  "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Csc.exe /noconfig /nowarn:1701,1702 /errorreport:prompt /warn:4 /define:TRACE /reference:"c:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5\System.Core.dll" /reference:c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Data.dll /reference:c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.dll /reference:c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Xml.dll /debug:pdbonly /filealign:512 /optimize+ . . ."

The fact that these are output for every project (esp. when those projects don't have warnings or errors) makes my stepping any bona-fide warnings/errors a right royal PITA. I want to have the IDE not display these pointless information lines.

The question isn't quite clear. By default in VS2005, if you right-click a project, select properties, and look under Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General, I think you'll see Suppress Startup Banner: Yes (/nologo) This suppresses some banner info from the compiler. Is that what you want?
