Currently I have a solution with Windows and WP7 XNA projects in it.

Whenever I try to debug just the Windows project it thinks it needs the WP7 emulator and decides to launch it. I opened up the Configuration Manager and created a new configuration just for Windows debugging and unchecked the building and deploying of all my WP7 projects yet it still insists on having the WP7 emulator open.

Is there a way to stop this behaviour?

I bet it's very similar to this issue with multiple ASP.NET Development Server instances loading up no matter what project is being debugged. I can't check this right now to be sure, but I bet there might be a similar setting to this "Always start when debugging" option for the emulator.

So opening the Properties Window (View->Properties Window, not the View->Property Pages one) and then clicking on the project in Solution Explorer, then look for a similar setting to "Always start when debugging".

Alternatively, have you tried setting the target to a be Device instead of the emulator? That might also be a workaround.

It's probably because It's set as the startup project:
