How to use IIS Express without polluting the .csproj file

Question

I recently switched to IIS Express for asp.net developement but I don't understand that clicking on "Use IIS Express..." (contextual menu on project in Visual Studio) affects the .csproj file...

The problem is when I commit changes (Source Control) I also commit the new IIS Express configuration and this is, in my opinion, a user preference configuration. Therefore it should be written in a .suo file (which is ignored by source control).

I understand this is more rambling than a question but I thought maybe someone would have a solution.
