In VS2010, I noticed that the "output window" is shown every time we compile the solution, even if we have had close it.

In VS2008, that wasn't the case. I don't mind this output window. I prefer looking at the "Error window" only, and only if it is necessary. In VS2008, it was perfect.

How to disable the systematic displaying of the "output window" in VS2010?

Go to Tools, Options, Projects And Solutions, and uncheck Show Output Window when Build Starts.
