How do you prevent Visual Studio from switching to the Code Analysis tab after each build?

After each build, Visual Studio 2012 switches from the Solution Explorer to the Code Analysis tab, usually with the yellow "No code analysis issues were detected." (Might as well say "TA DA!").

Is there an option to turn off the tab switching (keeping it on Solution Explorer)? [because I can't find it either in Solutions or Options].

Thanks!

VS 2012

The best answer I have found so far is to drag the Code Analysis view's tab away from the Solution explorer. I've docked mine below the Solution explorer and made it about 1 inch high - so I can still see what it is reporting on the rare occasions when I wish to check it, but without losing my Solution Explorer all the time.

It's still unnecessary but a lot less irritating.


Update - VS 2013

In VS 2013 you can now click the Settings option in the Code Analysis view, and disable the Show window when issues are detected option.
