What does 1> mean in the Visual Studio output window?

Question

Each line of my output window in Visual Studio 2005 is added with the characters "1>"

I do not know what happened, but it was not used for this.

I tried searching Google, but searching for the string "1>" is problematic even if you search for +1> (since the + symbol should mean an exact search).

So what does this mean? ... how can I get rid of it?

Thanks ~ Eric

Visual Studio supports parallel assemblies, using more than one processor core to create a solution. The prefix 1> indicates the assembly number that produced the result. You really get parallel assemblies when you have projects that are independent of each other.
