Question

By default Microsoft’s Visual Studio is using <tchar.h> and defines main as int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]). This can be usefull but not always.

How to disable this in default new project?

UPDATE

I want to create empty projects with simple mains…

Answer 1

To create an empty project and use plain old main:

1. In Visual Studio, choose File -> New -> Project…
2. Select Console Application and give it a name.
3. In the Wizard, choose Application Settings.
4. Select Empty project.
5. Click Finish.
6. Add a .cpp file to the project.
7. In the new .cpp file, implement main.

For example:

#include <iomanip>    
#include <iostream>

int main(int cArgs, char **ppszArgs) {
  std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
  return 0;
}
