WCF Test Client
The WCF Test Client can be quite a useful tool when developing .Net web services using Visual Studio, however sometimes you don’t need it automatically launching when you start your project … it gets quite annoying!
How can I disable it?
You can disable it through the *.csproj.user file of your web service project.
First, close your solution in Visual Studio. Then add the entry EnableWcfTestClientForSVC into your *.csproj.user file. Then re-open your solution, the WCF Test Client shouldn’t launch anymore when you start your Visual Studio project.

Thanks so much for this! I simply added the tag with the False value and it worked. Been looking for an answer to this for a while!
