How Do I Stop Visual Studio 2010 Editor From Making Code Hyperlinks?

I realize this is a somewhat dated question but when looking for a solution to programmatically update the date in a URL I was sending requests to, which VS2019 turning the string into a hyperlink was breaking, I just concatenated the "https://" with the rest of the URL and was able to use the $@"string" to achieve what I wanted to do. No need to toggle options or add extensions.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://" + 
$@"url.com/startDate={DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")}");

Tools, Options, Text Editor, C# (or any other language), Enable single-click URL navigation.

Not sure about VS2010 but, in VS2008, you can open up Tools, Options, Text Editor, <Your Language>, General, there's a Enable single-click URL navigation checkbox that you should de-select.

With any luck, Microsoft won't have moved it too far from there in VS2010 :-)
