Enable C++ exceptions in Visual Studio 2010 compilation options

Question

I'm trying to compile this source code :

// exception_set_unexpected.cpp
// compile with: /c /EHsc
#include<exception>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

void unfunction( ) 
{
   cout << "I'll be back." << endl;
   terminate( );
}

int main( ) 
{
   unexpected_handler oldHand = set_unexpected( unfunction );
   unexpected( );
}

How can i add compile with: /c /EHsc option in Visual Studio 2010 ?
